Abstract
Summary:. Nasal reconstruction is a difficult and complex surgery due to highlights and shadows of three-dimensional central structure of the face. Similarity of tissues, units–subunits, and invisibility of the scar are very important principles for reconstruction. In this case report, we present reconstruction of subunits of the nose by an expanded forehead scalping flap in a 12-year-old boy, whose tip and columellar subunits had been avulsed by a dog bite, in a hidden scar manner.
