BACKGROUND Full-thickness defects of the nasal ala necessitate composite repair of the nasal lining, cartilage and soft tissue envelope. Repair of the nasal lining is particularly challenging due to access and geometry of this area. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the melolabial flap as a single stage operation for repair of full-thickness nasal ala defects. METHODS Retrospective study of seven adult patients with full-thickness nasal ala defects who underwent melolabial flap repair. Complications and operative technique were recorded and described. RESULTS Of the seven patients who underwent melolabial flap repair, each had excellent coverage of the defect postoperatively. There were two cases of mild ipsilateral congestion, and no revision procedures performed. CONCLUSIONS The melolabial flap is a versatile reconstructive option for repair of the internal lining of the nasal ala, and in our series there were no significant complications or revision procedures performed.
