Abstract
Two patients with nasal skin defects resulting from excision of rhinophyma and multiple angiofibromas were treated with artificial dermis followed by full-thickness skin grafts taken from the postauricular region. The secondary skin grafts took completely in both patients, and the postoperative results were excellent. Although a two-stage operation is required, application of artificial dermis prior to full-thickness skin grafting is a reliable method for resurfacing the nose.
