Introduction Acute angle between dome and ala causes alar concavity/pinch deformity.
Breathing problems may accompany pinching. Here, pinch deformities were classified …

The etiology of the pinched nasal deformity is commonly iatrogenic (from prior nasal
surgery); however, it can also be congenital from weak structural integrity of the lower lateral …

Background Excessive concavity of the lower lateral crura can cause significant aesthetic
problems for the nasal tip and can be associated with significant functional problems, such …

The droopy tip is a common nasal deformity in which the tip is inferiorly rotated. Five
hundred consecutive rhinoplasty cases were studied to assess the incidence and causes of …

Background The appropriate treatment of alar rim deformities, such as alar pinching or
concavity, and soft triangle notching is essential for perfecting nasal aesthetics. Objectives …

Background Alar cartilage malposition is a common anatomic variation in which the axis of
the lateral crus lies cephalically and may be parallel to the cephalic septum. Malposition of …

Background: Preservation of the scroll area is essential when performing rhinoplasty to

Objectives To describe an alar cartilage–modifying technique aimed at decreasing nasal tip
projection in cases with overdeveloped alar cartilages and to compare it with other …

The objective of this study was to discuss the technical details and our experiences with
lateral crural tensioning (LCT) in both functional and aesthetic rhinoplasties. A retrospective …

Background The correction of alar webbing in unilateral cleft lip nose deformity is
challenging because of progressive distortions in the alar web region during the period of …
