    Author: Shokri T, Kadakia S, Saman M, Habal MB, Kohlert S, Sokoya M, Ducic Y, Wood-Smith D.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2019; 30(2):330-333. PubMed ID: 30531275.
    Abstract:
    Nasal reconstruction is considered the historic foundation of facial plastic surgery, and the forehead flap remains the workhorse of repair. To recreate both the aesthetic contour and function of the nose, all anatomic layers must be addressed-covering, lining, and structural support. This article reviews the noteworthy history underlying the development of the paramedian forehead flap as the primary tool in reconstruction of large nasal defects while highlighting its implications on modern nasal repair. Current developments in the use of 2-staged paramedian forehead flap reconstruction are examined and a modern technique is presented.
