Study Summary
This trial is designed to compare the outcomes of two different types of surgery for repairing nasal tip wounds.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a nasal tip wound no larger than 15mm, who can understand and sign consent. It's not for those under 18, current smokers, people with infections or conditions that affect healing, or if their nose shape makes certain repairs less likely to work.Check my eligibility

The study compares two types of nasal reconstruction techniques: nasalis sling flaps versus lobed transposition flaps. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the methods and will complete questionnaires to assess aesthetic and functional outcomes.See study design
