Creating a lifelike appearance and function, face prosthesis made of various materials and retention techniques can be used to replace facial abnormalities brought on by neoplasms, congenital malformations, or trauma. Due the nose is a relatively immovable structure, a nasal prosthesis may often restore mid-facial abnormalities’ aesthetic form and anatomic features more successfully than surgical repair. Numerous elements, including harmony, texture, colour matching, and melding of the tissue contact with the prosthetic, are critical for effective outcomes. The purpose of the case study is to describe the non-surgical rehabilitation of a patient who underwent total rhinectomy due to squamous cell carcinoma of the nose using a nasal prosthesis made of silicone. A 50 years old man came to the RSUD Sardjito for nasal prosthesis. Patient was operated for squamous cell carcinoma of nose 8 months ago. Sqamous cell carcinoma of the nose was treated through a rhinectomy. The bridge of the nose, including the nasal bones was included in the resection. Using a spectacle glass frame and a mechanical retaining design, the prosthesis was created to restore the patient’s aesthetic look without the need for craniofacial implants. The goal of the nasal prosthesis using mechanical retention was to improve the patient’s function and appearance in order to raise patient’s standard of living.
