Overview
This CME course will be a comprehensive overview of nasal reconstruction. Nasal defects can be among the most challenging to repair, depending on the size, location, depth, and number of involved subunits. In this course, leading experts in the field will share their experience in the management of nasal defects, ranging from pearls for tough but commonly seen defects to innovative techniques to address complex multi-subsite and total nose defects. Attendees will gain tools to add to their armamentarium for nasal reconstruction to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
