Before and After
This patient had alar stenosis and nasal airway obstruction due primarily to a skin cancer resection. She also had a deviated septum, nasal polyps, and a boney nasal dorsal hump.
Before and After
I removed a dorsal hump and opened her sinuses at the same setting I reconstructed the nasal ala with a Melolabial flap wrapped around a conchal cartilage graft (autologous ear cartilage).
Post op Nasolabial Flap
A much improved airway after flap reconstruction. The flap includes a conchal cartilage graft to avoid collapse.
