NASAL RECONSTRUCTION

Significant nasal defects—whether from skin cancer removal, trauma, granulomatous disease, or substance-related collapse—require precise rebuilding of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. Our reconstructive expertise ensures:

• Restored framework: Recreating the dorsal, tip, and alar architecture

• Natural contour: Matching skin tone, thickness, and texture

• Functional airway: Correcting internal valve collapse and septal support

• Autologous preference: Prioritising your own tissue over prosthetics

• Low complication rates: Decades of experience in complex flap and graft techniques

Thorough defect assessment

• Analysis of skin, cartilage, bone loss and surrounding tissue laxity.

Customised flap and graft planning

• Forehead or cheek flaps, septal/auricular cartilage grafts, rib grafts when needed.

Single-stage vs multi-stage protocols

• Single-stage forehead flap for moderate defects; two-stage for extensive reconstructions.

Functional restoration

• Septal realignment, internal lining reconstruction, turbinate preservation.

Collaborative care

• Input from dermatologists, oncologists, ENT colleagues for holistic management.

• Review of prior surgery, biopsy reports, imaging, and bloodwork
• Photographic and 3D imaging analysis of defect dimensions
• Discussion of flap options, donor-site considerations, and scars
• Plan for cartilage harvest (septum, ear, or rib) if required
• Timeline overview for multi-stage procedures and anticipated revisions
• Risk disclosure, healing milestones, and realistic aesthetic goals
