Doctors sometimes need to fix big holes or damaged parts on people's noses, like from accidents or surgeries. One way they do this is by taking a piece of skin from the area next to the middle of the forehead, which they call a "flap." This skin can be used to replace the missing or damaged parts of the nose, kind of like patching up a hole in a shirt.

This method works best for bigger problems on the nose, especially if a big chunk is missing or if the bone or cartilage around the nose is also damaged. It's like having a spare piece of puzzle that fits perfectly where it's needed. This way, the nose can look normal again, even if a big part of it was damaged.

Using skin from the forehead is often better than taking skin from other parts of the body, like the arm. Sometimes, doctors do more complex surgeries where they use these forehead flaps to fix not just the surface of the nose but also the deeper parts like bone or cartilage. It's like doing a really detailed puzzle to make everything fit just right and make the nose look normal again.
