Naso labial flap is an ideal flap for reconstruction of alae of the nose and angle of the mouth after excision for malignancy. Due to inconspicuous deformity of the donor area it is ideal in old age. We report our experience in 7 cases of basal cell carcinoma of the alae of the nose and 11 cases of carcinoma angle of the mouth.
