The nasolabial flap is a commonly used local flap for reconstructing nasal defects. By utilizing the skin from the nasolabial region, satisfactory facial contour and aesthetic outcomes can be achieved as the skin in this area is similar in color, texture, and type to the adjacent nasal skin. Various techniques for nasolabial flap reconstruction include advancement flap, transposition flap, folded flap, hinge flap, island flap, and bilobed flap. For repairing defects on the nasal sidewall or ala, techniques such as advancement flap, transposition flap, hinge flap, or island flap can be selected based on the size of the wound. Folded flap and hinge flap can be utilized for through-and-through defects involving the nasal wing and anterior nostril. Bilobed flap is suitable for repairing tissue defects in the lower nasal area. When choosing the appropriate type and technique of nasolabial flap, the surgeon needs to consider multiple factors, including the extent and location of the defect, vascular supply, tissue pliability, as well as postoperative aesthetic and functional requirements.
