Closure of nasal defect remains a challenge for surgeons. There are several ways to do nasal reconstruction, including donor site for nasal reconstruction due to its vascularity that is superior to other areas. Methods: This is a case report of a 75-year old male patient with Squamous Cell Carcinoma on his left nostril who underwent wide excision. This action left a 4-cm defect, whilst the nasal septum remained intact. This defect closure was using V-Y advancement full thickness nasolabial flap in one step. This defect closure was using V-Y advancement full thickness nasolabial flap in one step. Results: The defect closure was performed with tum over local (nasobialis) flap from the left side of the nasal cartilage. The superiority of this flap, it is able to be performed bulking, so that closure with turn over local nasolabial flap has been a sole option in nostril reconstruction for decades, which gave very good cosmetic results. After being followed for 1 month after surgery, the flap was viable, the contour was well formed, the scar was minimal, and there was no respiratory disruption. The patient was satisfied by the results. Conclusion: Nasolabial turn over local flap can be used as an option to close a relatively wide nostril

The nasolabial flap is primarily used for nasal reconstruction and most frequently for full-thickness alar reconstruction due to the tissue’s location, texture, color, and bulk. The inferiorly based flap is most often used for alar reconstruction, while the superiorly based flap may also be used for nasal sidewall as well as alar reconstruction. Regardless of whether the flap will be superiorly or inferiorly based, the critical component of the patient marking is placement of the medial incision in the nasolabial or nasofacial crease. In the younger patient, consideration must be given to the donor site scar.

<p class="Abstract">Reconstruction of soft tissue at the nose following excision of basal cell carcinoma is always challenging, because of both functional and aesthetic importance of nose. The local flap is always preferable to skin graft as this produces “like with like” replacement, pliable cover and vascularized tissue over the skeletal framework. In this paper, we discussed six cases of nasal reconstruction with bilobed flap, forehead flap, and nasolabial flap. All flaps survived and the patients had satisfactory outcome.</p>

Authors presented the case of a 4-year-old male patient who suffered a dog bite on his face with partial amputation of the nasal tip, managed at another institution conservatively, so that one year after the injury he came for the nasal deformity. A frontal flap was performed for reconstruction achieving excellent results, coverage was achieved with similar characteristics of the skin as color and texture. The patient had a follow-up of 5 years with an appropriate course. Authors presented the case due to few reports in the literature of its use in children, where it can be observed that it is an excellent reconstructive tool.
