“…Nasal skin may be altered by benign and malignant tumors or congenital lesions such as giant congenital nevus and hemangiomas, as well as by scars caused by leishmaniosis, burns, or trauma. 1,2 In general, if these lesion or burns are large, they can affect the underlying structures. 3 In this regard, several reconstructive methods for removing the scars have been studied.…”

Background: Skin lesions and traumas can affect the skin by leaving scars. The purpose of this study was evaluating the results of a new technique in reconstructive surgery of scars on the nose. In this technique, extra skin remaining from reduction rhinoplasty is applied to the defect remained from removing the scar. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study performed on 33 patients who underwent reduction rhinoplasty from 2013 to 2018 due to scars on the dorsal nasal skin. Five sets of standards, criteria, and questionnaires were used to evaluate the cosmetic outcomes, scars, and nasal function. These included the Cakir concept, visual analogue scale, patient reported outcome measurement, Stony Brook scar evaluation scale, and sino-nasal outcome test-22. Results: According to the surface polygon concept, or Cakir concept, the number of affected polygons due to scars decreased in all included patients (P < 0.05). In addition, constant improvement in patients' satisfaction, based on patient reported outcome measurement (P < 0.001) and visual analogue scale (P ≤ 0.05), as well as physicians' satisfaction, based on Stony Brook scar evaluation scale, were determined. Furthermore, evaluating the patients' breathing, based on sino-nasal outcome test-22 criteria (P < 0.09), indicated no adverse effects. Conclusion: Excision of scars from dorsal nasal skin and conducting rhinoplasty surgery from the same access can be considered an option for reconstructing nasal scars.
