Reconstruction of nasal defects presents a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon due to the complicated aesthetic subunits of the nose and limited available adjacent mobile skin with varying color, texture, and thickness. The ideal tissue needs to be of similar color, texture, and thickness to that of the defect. The glabellar flap is the ideal flap for closure of proximal nasal dorsal defects. Here, we present a case of a soft tissue defect in the proximal third of the nasal dorsum which was resurfaced with the glabellar hatchet flap.
