Full Thickness Skin Graft to Nose, Complex (with ear graft) Procedure
Full-thickness skin graft to the nose is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged part of the skin on the nose using a skin graft from the region behind the upper ear. This procedure is often recommended to patients who have suffered from a burn or traumatic injury or need a skin cancer area removed. During this procedure, the surgeon will remove a small piece of full-thickness graft from the ear and use it to replace the removed portion from the nose.
At Smith Medical, we aim to make surgical procedures more affordable and accessible. We are a direct specialty care clinic offering cash-pay surgeries to all individuals seeking affordable surgery. By bridging the gap between patient and practice and removing the middlemen, we can lower the cost of treatment to make it more reasonable for any individuals considering surgery.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Patients may be recommended for a full-thickness skin graft to the nose with an ear graft if they have extensive tissue loss or damage in the nasal area that cannot be resolved through conservative means. This type of procedure is used to repair defects resulting from traumatic injury, burns, skin cancer removal, or other reasons. Patients will work with a skilled plastic surgeon to determine their goals and discuss the approach they are most comfortable with.
What To Expect
Patients will be under local or general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. During the procedure, the surgeon will carefully remove the defective skin from the nose and replace it with a graft from the ear. When the goal of the procedure has been achieved, the surgeon will close any incisions and the patient will be monitored as they wake up from the anesthesia.
After the procedure, patients will have two wound regions, the ear and the nose. They may experience discomfort in these regions which is typically manageable through a course of anti-inflammatory pain medication. It is very important that patients closely follow all post-operative instructions to ensure the wound is well cared for.
