Abstract
Reconstruction of combined nose, cheek, and/or inferior eyelid defects is facilitated by stable anchorage at the nasal-cheek junction. The previously reported techniques of drill holes and Mitek anchors are not without disadvantages. The authors present a simple means of anchoring soft tissue flaps at the nasal-cheek junction: a titanium miniplate secured with a screw at each end. Our case report describes successful, lasting, and complication-free anchorage of cheek, forehead, and eyelid flaps to a single miniplate placed along the piriform aperture.
