The nasolabial flap is a local
arterialized flap with an axial blood supply provided either by the facial artery (inferiorly based flap), or by the superficial temporal artery through its transverse facial branch, and the infraorbital artery (superiorly based flap).3,4,5 Superiorly based nasolabial flaps can be used for reconstruction of nasal, lower eyelid, and cheek defects; whereas inferiorly based flaps are considered appropriate in reconstruction of defects of the lip, oral commissure and anterior oral cavity.8 It is a reliable, versatile, and easy to raise flap for a variety of small to medium sized defects in the orofacial region.
