Abstract

Our experience with V-Y subcutaneous flaps for nasal tip closure after tumor resection in 10 patients is reported. This method has distinct advantages over previously used methods such as skin graft, rotation, or transposition flap. It allows primary closure of recipient and donor site without the formation of dog-ear or trapdoor deformity. It is easy to design, reliable, and offers good cosmetic results. This method is performed under local anesthesia as an office procedure. It is recommended to plastic surgeons for the closure of nasal tip defects.
