“… 4 Others also achieved good results in reconstructing nasal defects of up to 1.5 cm diameter in the supratip area. 8 A similar method for repair of larger defects greater than 2 cm in diameter using a myocutaneous V‐Y flap that moves in a vertical direction was developed. 5 This was modified further as an axial dorsonasal V‐Y advancement flap based on branches of the angular artery.…”

Reconstruction of nasal tip defects is a technical and aesthetic challenge for dermatological surgeons, due to the limited reservoir of available skin and its thick, inflexible nature. The myocutaneous flap described in this paper, using the vascular pedicle of the transverse nasalis muscle, is an excellent option for repair of defects of the nasal tip. It provides a cosmetically superior result to skin grafting, particularly in noses of 'sebaceous' quality, by providing similar local skin. The flap maintains normal nasal tip contour and, being an axial pattern flap, its blood supply is reliable.

“…The bilevel approach to flap mobilization is an innovative approach that builds on prior methodology such as the nasalis myocutaneous sliding flap by V. Constantine and S.S. Wee. 50,51 Addressing the reconstruction of specific subunits may be adequate and appropriate in some cases, however, total nasal reconstruction may be required in some instances due to the extent of the defect or in an attempt to provide a superior cosmetic result. R. Kotler and J.R. Mellette Jr. each provides an excellent review on the use of the paramedian forehead pedicle flap for this purpose.…”

Over the last 40-50 years, reconstructive surgery in dermatology has undergone expansive growth and development. As dermatologists began to provide a greater array of surgical services during this period, it became apparent that new skills and techniques in the area of reconstruction would be required. Initially many of the procedures and concepts were adopted from other specialties, however, in the years since, significant contributions have been made by dermatologists which in turn have benefited other specialties as well. This review attempts to summarize some of the significant historical events and innovations that have established and supported dermatologic surgical reconstruction.

“…Constantine used a similar technique for defects up to 1.5 cm. 2 Wee and colleagues, in 1990, refined the nasal myocutaneous reconstruction using Z-plasty, early dermabrasion, and placement of a bolster. 3 All of these flaps describe repair of defects located superior to the alar groove with a classic island pedicle.…”
