Article Abstract

Nasal prostheses have long served as critical solutions for patients who have lost part or all of their nose due to cancer, accidents, or congenital deformities. Discussed here is a case report of a patient with basal cell carcinoma who underwent partial rhinectomy and was rehabilitated with a nasal prosthesis fabricated with polymethyl methacrylate and retained with eyewear. The integration of nasal prostheses with eyewear frames not only enhances stability and comfort but also streamlines the daily routine of prosthetic wearers. Patients experience greater freedom of movement, reduced skin irritation, and improved aesthetic results. Custom coloring and texturing techniques ensure the prosthesis blends seamlessly with the patient's skin tone and texture, enhancing self-confidence and psychosocial well-being.
