title: Microvascular approaches to nasal reconstruction.
abstract: In summary, the use of free tissue transfers for nasal reconstruction offers a wide variety of tissues that provide cutaneous coverage, underlying support, and nasal lining. Obtaining the final aesthetic result frequently requires defatting and other touch-up procedures, which usually can be done under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
