Surgical closure is challenging, occasionally requiring multiple procedures and carrying a risk of recurrence. The nasolabial flap (NLF) is a well-established local flap for soft tissue reconstruction in the orofacial region; superiorly based flaps are typically used for defects of the nasal dorsum, tip, and ala, while inferiorly based flaps are applied to defects of the nasal floor, lips, and buccal mucosa. The NLF provides dependable vascularity and favorable donor-site esthetic outcomes.
