| description | ABSTRACT Nasal rehabilitation following basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and radiotherapy presents significant challenges due to the intricate balance between aesthetic and functional restoration. This case report discusses the rehabilitation of a 73‐year‐old male who underwent surgical excision and radiotherapy for BCC located on the left ala of the nose. Post‐treatment, the patient experienced dissatisfaction with his facial appearance, negatively impacting his quality of life. This study highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving optimal outcomes through prosthetic reconstruction. The process involved careful surgical removal of residual tissue, followed by detailed impression‐taking, modeling, and fabrication of a custom nasal prosthesis. Key considerations included anatomical accuracy, symmetry, and color matching to ensure a natural appearance. Emphasis was placed on patient‐centered care, addressing both physical and psychological aspects. Despite achieving satisfactory results, limitations such as the absence of long‐term follow‐up data were noted. Future research should focus on long‐term prosthesis performance and patient‐reported outcomes to enhance rehabilitation strategies. This case underscores the importance of an integrated approach combining surgical precision, prosthodontic expertise, and psychological support to improve patient satisfaction and quality of life following nasal rehabilitation post‐BCC and radiotherapy. |
