Full-thickness transnasal flap.
A method is described to reconstruct a unilateral asymmetrical defect of the tip of the nose resulting from burn scar contracture and alar loss by utilizing an appropriate full-thickness rotation of tissue of similar consistency to the defect derived from the opposite side of the nose. This transfer led to the use of similar, but normal tissue, by subtracting from the dimensions of the normal side to add to the shortage of tissue on the abnormal side. This method was designed because of the lack of normal adjacent tissue available for transfer and demonstrates a relatively simple solution to a difficult problem.
