The incomplete cleft population demonstrated a more profound difference between the treatment groups (0.82 and 0.62, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study reveals an association between a perialar incision and decreased alar surface area. Long-term follow up results suggest a perialar scar restricts alar growth leading to significant asymmetry between the cleft and non-cleft sides. Therefore, surgical technique must be carefully considered prior to utilizing a perialar incision during unilateral cleft lip repair.BACKGROUND Nasolabial flap is a work-horse flap for coverage of many facial units. However, these flaps have limited mobility and these limit their use in many instances. Facial artery with its numerous small cutaneous perforators can be a source for free-style skin flaps that can be islanded and have greater reach, one of which is nasolabial perforatory flap. METHODS The authors present a case series of 35 patients with central facial unit defects reconstructed by a single flap harvested from the nasolabial sulcus. RESULTS In our series, we did not encounter any significant flap loss and patient satisfaction was high both functionally and aesthetically. Main drawbacks were temporary venous congestion and hair bearing flaps in male patients. CONCLUSION The authors think with its reliability and versatility nasolabial perforator flaps, based on the same donor area as the traditional nasolabial flap can be a valuable addition to our arsenal in reconstruction of central facial unit defects.INTRODUCTION Microvascular free tissue transfer has revolutionized the management of complex composite head and neck defects. AIM To evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes in the primary reconstruction of post-excisional near total hemifacial defects with the chimeric anterolateral thigh flaps (cALT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The author as a prelude to this clinical study has done a c
