Background The nasal pyramid is frequently affected by nonmelanoma skin cancer. In full thickness defects of the nose, reconstruction of all the layers results in better outcomes. Methods We present a case in which the combination of two flaps adequately reconstructs a full thickness defect of the nasal ala. Results The images provide proof of the excellent functional and aesthetic results. Conclusions Our technique is a simple, one‐stage procedure, with no distant donor site morbidity that achieves good coverage of the internal nasal lining with good external aesthetic result.
