Facial skin cancer on the nasal tip presents a significant challenge due to the complexity of its removal and subsequent facial defect reconstruction. Various methods have been utilized to address this concern. In this case report, we detail our experience with two cases of skin cancer affecting the nasal tip in elderly patients. The lesions were completely excised under general anesthesia, and the resulting nasal tip defects were reconstructed using bilobed flaps. Subsequent wound healing occurred without complications, yielding excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes. Herein, we present our experience along with a review of the pertinent literature.
