Abstract
The nose has a central position in the face and serves as the key anatomic area for aesthetic and facial balance. Due to its central position the nose is very often involved in facial burns. Due to its importance nose reconstruction plays a major role in regaining quality of life, but beside its aesthetic impact the nose also plays a major role as a functional organ in the upper airway.
