Abstract	OBJECTIVES: We evaluated oncologic and functional results of paramedian forehead flap in the reconstruction of nasal cutaneous defects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Supratrochlear artery-based paramedian forehead flap was employed in 14 patients (13 men, 1 woman; mean age 57 years; range 46 to 63 years) for the reconstruction of nasal cutaneous defects resulting from excision of squamous or basal cell carcinoma. No other treatment modalities were performed other than removal of the primary lesion. The mean follow-up was 42.4 months (range 8 to 83 months). RESULTS: None of the patients developed flap necrosis, local recurrences, or distant metastasis. Airway problems of varying extent were observed in 10 patients (71.4%), the severity of which became attenuated in time as the flap gained proper contraction. CONCLUSION: Acceptable functional and successful oncologic results can be obtained in the reconstruction with the use of paramedian forehead flap.
