The paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) is a versatile flap with a robust vascular supply that is well suited for reconstruction of complex or large nasal defects. Although a 2-stage technique is most common, a single-stage procedure involving tunneling the proximal pedicle and 3-stage procedures involving tissue expansion, vascular delay, and flap tailoring after inset before pedicle division have also been described. This article describes a traditional 2-stage technique and presents the case of a patient with a posttraumatic nasal deformity reconstructed with a PMFF.

Total nasal reconstruction represents a complex challenge, requiring restoration of all three anatomical planes while preserving respiratory function. This procedure has significant therapeutic, aesthetic, social and professional implications for patients. We share our academic experience of reconstruction using a folded microanastomosed radial forearm flap (FRFF) combined with a paramedian forehead flap, using the technique of F.

Background: Defects of the nose present complex reconstructive challenges to the plastic surgeon. We present our experience with using the dorsal nasal flap (DNF) to provide a durable reconstruction even in sizable defects that would otherwise be considered necessitating a paramedian forehead flap.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent reconstruction by DNF following resection of skin cancers on the nose.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, low to intermediate-grade soft tissue sarcoma that presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with a slow-growing, asymptomatic lesion on his forehead that had developed over two years. Clinical examination revealed a firm, non-tender multinodular mass measuring 5 x 3 cm in the supraorbital region.
