The nasal tip is a prominent landmark on the face, and skin carcinomas of this area are very common. Moderate and large deep skin defects of the nasal tip normally represent a difficult reconstructive challenge. Nasal-tip reconstruction techniques have evolved to allow not only filling of the gap, but cosmetic and functional retention. Numerous flap options are available to reconstruct the defect of the tip of the nose. In this paper, we report the technique of the axial frontonasal flap and its use in reconstruction of large nasal-tip defects in East Asians. The axial frontonasal flap described is a good alternative for reconstruction of nasal-tip defects > 15 mm in diameter, with excellent aesthetic results. This technique is reliable, yields excellent functional and cosmetic results, and we believe that it is a valuable alternative to other techniques of reconstruction for defects of the nasal tip.
