    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The nasal pyramid is frequently affected by nonmelanoma skin cancer. In full thickness defects of the nose, reconstruction of all the layers results in better outcomes. METHODS: We present a case in which the combination of two flaps adequately reconstructs a full thickness defect of the nasal ala. RESULTS: The images provide proof of the excellent functional and aesthetic results. CONCLUSIONS: Our technique is a simple, one-stage procedure, with no distant donor site morbidity that achieves good coverage of the internal nasal lining with good external aesthetic result.
