Procedure Details

In this case, the Basal Cell Carcinoma has been completely removed. The ideal method of closure for this nose was a Trilobed Flap. By using adjacent tissue from the nose, each lobe can slide into the defect which allows it to have the same color and texture as before. This advantage will keep the nose cosmetically pleasing without disturbing the function and natural contours.
