title: Pedicles flaps from the forehead.
abstract: Pedicled flaps from the forehead are very useful for covering defects on the nose. A flap from a lateral or the medial part of the forehead can be designed according to the size and site of the defect on the nose. Flaps may even be used to repair full-thickness defects in the nose by grafting skin on their inner surfaces. Such techniques are briefly described step by step.
