Abstract

Abstract : Summary: An 8-year-old boy had the caudal part of his nose bitten off by a dog. Nasal reconstruction with a forehead flap was performed initially with success, and 9 years later, the reconstructed nose was found to have grown equally in size with the underlining tissue, resulting in a continuous satisfactory cosmetic result.
