Skin graft reconstruction. (a) Preoperative picture. A 45-year-old patient was affected by morphea-like basal cell carcinoma (BCC)of the tip of the nose. Although the patient was advised about the suboptimal result offered by a skin graft reconstruction, he refused any scar on the forehead. (b) An FTSG was planned and harvested from the preauricular area (best skin thickness match with the tip of the nose) to reconstruct the 2.5 × 2.3 cm skin defect. (c) The 12-month postoperative picture shows an acceptable result in terms of color and contour match; a slightly depressed area can be noticed on the midline.
