Background Excessive concavities of the lower lateral crura can lead to heavy aesthetic
disfigurement of the nasal tip and to insufficiencies of the external nasal valve. This study …

The lateral crus plays a significant role in the aesthetic appearance of the nose. Excessive
concavities of the lower lateral crura can lead to heavy aesthetic disfigurement of the nasal …

Background Severe lateral crura concavity (LCC) can lead to an important deformity of the
nasal tip and to external nasal valve insufficiency. The lower lateral crural reverse plasty …

Objective The aim of this study is to demonstrate a novel surgical technique in the treatment
of lower lateral crural protrusion and external nasal valve pinching. Method The lower lateral …

Backgrounds The hypoplastic, weak lateral crus of the nose may cause concave alar rim
deformity, and in severe cases, even alar rim collapse. These deformities may lead to both …

Background: Reinforcement of lower lateral crura (LLC) is an imperative prophylaxis against
the secondary deformity of alar and nasal tip in Asian rhinoplasty. The common limitation of …

Background There are many variables that influence nose tip harmony. Even in a
rhinoplasty that appears successful in profile, one may see nostril asymmetries, alar …

Background: Misshapen or weak lateral crura can cause an inward collapse of the lateral
crus observed on deep inspiration. The lateral crural strut graft is a popular technique for …

Background: Previously, the problem created by overly convex, wide, and robust lower
lateral cartilages (LLC) required an external or endonasal approach with delivery. Although …

A case of severe alar retraction and underprojected nasal tip due to hypoplastic lateral crura
was successfully treated using a columellar strut graft, lateral crus replacement graft, and …
