Abstract
|
|
|
|
Skin cancers usually occur on the face and so successive cutaneous reconstruction after surgery is very important for the patients’ quality of life. Cutaneous reconstruction is especially difficult when the defects after surgery involve the nasolabial fold. The nasolabial folds run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth, separating the cheeks from the upper lip. This area has complex contours, unique skin color and texture and the limited availability of mobile adjacent skin. We reconstructed such a defect after Mohs micrographic surgery for basal cell carcinoma of the nasolabial fold area, and we used a subcutaneous island pedicle flap and periosteal suspension suture. Herein we report on the details with the pictures, and we discuss the cosmetic effect and limitations of this method.
