Abstract

Reconstructing the nose is one of facial plastic surgery’s most common reconstructive challenges. While the forehead flap is widely utilized in nasal reconstruction, the effectiveness of a single forehead flap for subtotal/total nasal reconstruction is limited. Building on previously described fold-over flap techniques, we introduce a unique trifold forehead flap method for total nasal reconstruction utilizing a single forehead flap. The described technique holds promise for simplifying the surgical process while achieving desirable functional and cosmetic outcomes in total/subtotal nasal reconstruction.
