Using several cases that demonstrate partial or total reconstruction of the nose, the author
discusses the necessity of not only a complete functional but an aesthetically acceptable
end result of the surgery. Sophisticated surgical refinements of the complex anatomic
structures of the nasal tip alae and columella are strongly emphasized, with a first-time
description of a newly devised forehead compound island flap for nasal reconstruction.
