[Full thickness skin graft of glabellar skin for the repair of nasal tip defect].
The use of glabellar skin as full thickness skin graft is a good alternative to the common techniques, which are essentially represented by local flaps for repair of the nasal tip defects. Three cases out of 25 patients are reported. This technique provides no dyschromia unlike skin graft or composite graft commonly used. The glabellar scar remains remarkably discrete on a patient with previous glabellar wrinkles. The limits of this technique are represented by the surface of the donor skin its use on young patients without glabellar wrinkles.
