Abstract
Reconstruction of large facial defects requires surgical skill, an understanding of
engineering principles, an artistic eye, and patience to design the most elegant solution
for each patient. Extended nasal tip defects, which may involve additional facial
subunits, require even more thoughtful analysis and planning. Reconstructive surgeons
need to be aware of the pros and cons of various options for flaps, the use of a delay
stage, and sequencing and scheduling of staged operations to achieve an optimal outcome.
