Abstract
Various local flaps are used for the reconstruction after tumor excision from the face. However, because landmarks such as eyelid, eyebrow, nose, lip and ear that we would not like to move exist on the face, local flaps are difficult to apply to large defects. Bilobed flaps are local flaps which are used mainly for defects on the outside of the nose. We were able to reconstruct the defects of five cases using bilobed flaps after tumor excisions from the face and to obtain satisfactory results. Bilobed flaps can be applied to large defects of the face under local anesthesia with minimal invasion.
