ABSTRACT
Nasal columella defects can result in significant cosmetic and functional deformities. If a local flap transfer cannot be performed, columella reconstruction becomes a significant challenge for the surgeon. The columella of a healthy 30-year-old woman whose nose was scarred and contracted because of cocaine abuse, was successfully reconstructed by transferring a microvascular free flap from the first web space of the foot. The reconstructed columella had a satisfactory contour and a good texture, although there was slight, albeit unproblematic, color mismatching.
