Intact nose plays important role in perceptible beauty of face. Any amount of loss of nose has ruinous effect
on quality of life. Surgical correction is by reconstruction of nasal pyramid by various surgical techniques.
Six hundred years before Christ, Sushruta had described mid-forehead flap, which has an important role in
reconstruction of the nose. Here we present our experience of two cases, where reconstruction of nose was
done using interpolated paramedian forehead flap (IPFF) and cartilage from conchal region of pinna.
