There are a few descriptions in the literature on surgical techniques for the closure of synchronous facial defects. We report three cases of patients with synchronous lesions on the face, which were reconstructed using the following types of flaps: Yin-Yang double-opposing rotation; Burrow's triangle advancement; and a combination of the dorsal nasal flap with the transposition flap. Reconstructions of synchronous facial defects represent challenges to dermatologic surgeons, especially when one of the lesions is located in the nose. In cases involving relatively small defects and not so far apart, there is the possibility of a single flap to close both defects.
