Repair of Nasal Tip Defects Using the Crescentic Nasojugal Flap: A Series of 13 Cases.

We present a series of 13 cases in which cutaneous carcinoma (mostly basal cell carcinoma) was excised from the lateral nasal tip with clear margins and the defect repaired with a crescentic nasojugal flap. The technique was successful in all cases. None of the patients developed notable surgical complications and the postoperative outcomes were satisfactory, with no significant functional or cosmetic problems. The crescentic nasojugal flap is therefore a good option for repairing medium-sized defects on the tip of the nose.
