Abstract
The nasolabial flap is an ideal flap for nasal reconstruction, especially the alar subunit as the colour and texture are similar to the nose. The flap is soft, pliable and has a convexity that matches well with that of the ala. The nasolabial flap is designed so that the cheek scar is hidden within the nasolabial crease. Here, we describe the use of a nasolabial flap for a post excisional defect of a basal cell carcinoma in an elderly female.
