Abstract (EN): Nasal reconstruction is one of the most difficult procedures in plastic surgery due to its complex anatomy and function. A 31-year male was sent to our evaluation after an acquired nasal defect caused by a human bite 2 years before. The defect encompassed the nasal tip, columella, and both middle crura. After a detailed evaluation, the inner lining was reconstructed with a turndown flap of the released scar. In the same operative time, a shaped conchal cartilage graft was anchored to the remnants of both lateral crura and covered with a melolabial interpolated flap. Division, debulking, and final in setting of the flap was done after 5 weeks. Although simple steps were used, a good aesthetic reconstruction was achieved with minimal donor site morbidity. This case proves that a good planning is a cornerstone of a good reconstruction.
