Abstract
Interpolated flaps are very ancient with the Indian forehead rhinoplasty flap of 600 BC preceding every interpolated flap hence. Like the rotation local flap, it moves around a pivot point but has much more variability, bespokeness and useful surgical application. The paramedian forehead flap is the gold standard for major defects of the nose. Recently we have described the serendipity flap, raised inferiorly from the preauricular region for ear reconstruction.
