The present study introduces an advancement and rotation flap that can be used for the reconstruction of surgical defects located in the malar region. The design is essentially a triangle containing the defect, where one line runs parallel to the lateral part of the nose along the nasolabial fold, while another starts at the same point and follows the dynamic lines of the malar region. In order to complete the geometrical shape of the flap, a Burow’s triangle is performed at the end of the fold. The final tension force occurs on the nasal wall, preventing ectropion. The repositioning of the malar fat restores the contour of the region.
