Abstract

Basocellular carcinomas are characterized by their non-deep spread neoplastic nature. Although treatment typically proceeds without complication, excision in critical facial regions can lead to aesthetically undesirable defects. Furthermore, elderly patients often express aesthetic concerns, particularly regarding the thinning of the upper lip over time. This article presents the case of a 75-year-old patient with a basocellular carcinoma located on the tip of the nose, amidst a history of multiple neoplastic conditions. To address the defect, an inferiorly-based philtral advancement flap was employed, accompanied by a lip lift procedure, resulting in favorable aesthetic and functional outcomes.
