Two flag flaps based on the supratrochlear vessels for nasal reconstruction.
A short forehead or a low hairline sometimes precludes the use of a median forehead flap for reconstruction of defects of the lower nose when both lining and cover are needed. Two flag flaps based on the supratrochlear vessels were used in a patient with a full-thickness alar defect and a narrow, short forehead.
