[Simultaneous nasal reconstruction and facial defect repair using expanded forehead flap].
The expanded forehead flap has been used to reconstruct the nose and repair facial defects simultaneously since Sept. 1991. During operation, the expanded flap was divided into two parts: one based on the supratrochlear vessels for nasal reconstruction, the other based on the frontal branch of the superficial temporal vessel for the facial defects, e.g. periorbital or zygomatic area, upper or lower lip. Four patients were treated with this method and satisfactory results obtained.
