title: Simple things that make a difference in nasal reconstruction.
abstract: The nose is the most common location for nonmelanoma skin cancer. As a result, nasal reconstruction is a frequent challenge for Mohs surgeons. The esthetic outcome of each nasal repair can be improved by replacing nasal skin with the most similar match, restoring the intricate three-dimensional structure of the nose and applying the principle of cosmetic subunits. This article will present techniques and helpful hints, which are useful during nasal reconstruction to improve the selected repair and enhance the final result.
