Abstract
Facial reconstruction is one of the most challenging problems faced by a reconstructive surgeon. We present a case of complex facial reconstruction with a composite trauma to the nose resulting in near total loss of skin and lining along with complete loss of left eyebrow with exposed frontal bone and partial loss of the left eyelid. We combined a temporoparietal fascial flap for reconstruction of the eyebrows and covering the exposed frontal bone and prefabricated forehead flap with skin graft for nasal reconstruction. Proper planning and staging of the surgical procedures and use of local flaps gave us good aesthetic and functional outcome with a satisfied patient.
