The aim of this study was to clarify the morphology and topography of the dilator naris
vestibularis, dilator naris anterior, and alar part of the nasalis. Anatomical variations in the …

Currently, most rhinoplasty surgeons focus their analysis and operative techniques on the
upper nasal base, with its alar cartilages. They tend to minimize the lower nasal base …

The functioning of the nasal valve area is largely determined by the stability and the mobility
of the lateral nasal wall. To gain insight into the kinematics of the lateral nasal wall, we …

OBJECTIVE: To provide details of the unique anatomical features on the alar lobule region
in the Asian nose. METHODS: We hypothesized that the shape of the alar lobule is …

We present an anatomical mapping of the most important muscles influencing the nose,
incorporating constant anatomical structures, and their spatial correlations. At our disposal …

Purpose The aim of this study was to clarify the anatomical relationship of the procerus with
the nose, especially focusing on the transverse part of the nasalis, the nasal ala, and the …

Objective To give a unifying description of nasal muscles and ligaments corresponding to
anatomical and surgical findings such as the dermocartilaginous ligament described by …

In a number of mammals muscle dilator nasi (naris) has been described as a muscle that
reduces nasal airflow resistance by dilating the nostrils. Here we show that in rats the tendon …

A thorough understanding of nasal tip anatomy is a prerequisite to understanding the
nuances of restructuring the nasal tip. The three-dimensional structural anatomy of the nasal …

After rhinoplasty, many patients report numbness of the nasal tip. This is primarily because
of injury to the external nasal nerve. It is imperative that surgeons performing rhinoplasty be …
