“…Despite Gilles and Millard's admonition to employ “like” tissue (Menick & Salibian, ), it is difficult to achieve this principle in burns reconstruction. The appropriate nasal subunits should be covered to minimize the patch effect (Hafezi, Pegahmehr, & Nouhi, ) and the adjacent facial aesthetic units should also be taken into consideration. Individualized planning and reconstruction is especially crucial since every patient had different degree of severity, location and availability of donor site of burn injury.…”

“…The nose is the most prominent feature of the face and carries great importance both aesthetically and functionally (Hafezi et al, 2005; Gawrych and Janiszewska-Olszowska, 2010; Heller et al, 2010). Located at the very center of the face, the nose may suffer losses caused by trauma and burns as well as for oncologic and congenital reasons (Rose et al, 1996; Meyer et al, 1996; Bernard, 2000; Hafezi et al, 2002; Hafezi et al, 2005). One of the most important types of functional losses occurs in the internal or external valve structures (Egan and Kim, 2005).…”

Tissue losses within the nose due to various reasons result in the loss of normal anatomy and function. The external nasal valve area is one of the most important functional components of the nose. The columella, lobule, nostril, and alar region are among the components forming the external nasal valve area. Deformities of the nostrils are among the most frequently observed features that interfere with the functional anatomy of the nose. Malformations of the nostrils often emerge subsequent to cleft lip repairs. Stenoses are a common type of pathology among nostril deformities. In cases where a stenosis has formed, breathing problems and developmental anomalies may occur. In the patient with nostril stenosis presented in this report, there was a serious alar collapse and contracture subsequent to a cleft lip repair. In order to repair the nostril stenosis, a "boomerang flap" was chosen. This boomerang flap was used in combination with a nasolabial flap, a vestibular rotation flap, and a conchal cartilage graft to achieve a satisfactory repair.
