Abstract: | Lesions and defects of the nasal tip and alar rim can be reconstructed using composite or full thickness grafts from the proximal alar crease region. The texture, surface effect, and color match much better than the conventional skin grafts from other body areas. The donor site is well hidden in the natural crease of the alar rim and the scars have always been acceptable. This method has been used in ten patients to date and the average dimensions of the grafts are 1.5 x .7 cm. |
