Abstract
Background. Numerous traditional and contemporary methods for nasal reconstruction are used today. Our investigation qualitatively analyzed different methods of nasal tip reconstruction which led to the development of an algorithm for repair based on the size, depth, and location of tissue loss.
Methods. A case series of 165 nasal tip reconstructions performed during a 2βyear period followed for at least 6 months was critically analyzed with photographic documentation.
Results. Different methods of reconstruction exhibited varying aesthetic results. Analysis of surgical reconstructions led to the development of an algorithm based on the area of tissue defect.
Conclusions. An algorithm was developed for nasal tip reconstructions based on the size and location of tissue defect. Both the recipient and donor sites were analyzed for aesthetic result and complications. Β© 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## SUMMARY Reconstruction of nasal tip defects is a technical and aesthetic challenge for dermatological surgeons, due to the limited reservoir of available skin and its thick, inflexible nature. The myocutaneous flap described in this paper, using the vascular pedicle of the transverse nasalis mus
## Abstract ## Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of a novel method for internal nasal valve reconstruction that enables lateralization of the superior segment of upper lateral cartilages (ULC) from the septum to a greater extent than the spreader graft method with lat
