Abstract
Facial plastic surgeons use a variety of reconstruction techniques to overcome challenges
in restoring the function, structural integrity, and intricate nasal contour in nasal
reconstruction. Local cutaneous flaps provide excellent skin texture, thickness, and
color match in nasal reconstruction. They offer an excellent cosmetic appearance for
small- to medium-sized defects and are preferentially utilized when feasible. This
article aims to provide an updated review of local cutaneous flaps for nasal defect
repair and describe the major principles related to flap selection.
