Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. When located in the region of the nasojugal groove (tear drip), reconstruction of the resulting defect can become very challenging, due to local cosmetic and functional peculiarities. We report the use of an advancement flap to reconstruct the tear trough with satisfactory results, both in terms of aesthetics and the resulting functionality.
