New technique to contour the paramedian forehead flap in nasal reconstruction

The paramedian forehead flap is a preferred method for the reconstruction of nasal deformities (that have been caused by injury or cancer) because the tint of the skin of the forehead matches that of the nasal skin.1 It is a little too thick, however, and needs to be thinned to achieve a contour that is acceptable cosmetically.1 We describe a new method of thinning the forehead flap that is easier, faster, and more reliable for depth of thinning.
