Nasal reconstruction by modified bilobed forehead flap
Abstract
Paramedian forehead flaps, which are supplied by supratrochlear artery and have structural compatibility with nasal skin, have been successfully used for nasal reconstruction for many years. However, removing this flap from midline as perpendicular to natural lines of forehead may lead to marked scar. A flap extending to lateral in parallel to natural lines of forehead results in ipsilateral elevation of eyebrow. In this article, we aimed to demonstrate a flap technique called as “modified bilobed forehead flap technique”. In this technique, pedicle of the flap is supplied by supratrochlear artery at one side and the flap is removed at the contralateral side of the lesion using parallel incision to natural lines of forehead. Another flap with a half thickness of the original flap is removed from contralateral frontal region and interpolated to the site where the original flap is removed to prevent the asymmetrical elevation of eyebrow ipsilateral to flap removal. The aim of this technique is to utilize masking effect of natural lines of forehead, while the basic method is bilobed flap technique. Secondary benefits of this technique include forehead lifting and bilateral eyebrow lifting.
