Abstract
Conclusion: To maintain the nasal dorsal sidewall unit, superior, central dorsal, and nasal sidewall defects have traditionally been reconstructed utilizing a variety of techniques including skin grafts and regional flaps such as glabellar flaps and frontal flaps. We demonstrate that maintaining the nasal dorsal sidewall unit is not necessary and excellent results can be achieved through the expanded use of cheek advancement flaps. Numerous benefits were encountered by repairing nasal sidewall defects with contralateral nasal skin and extended cheek flaps, and the overall outcome in this series was felt to be superior to the results which would be expected with more traditional methods of repair.
