L.O.L, female patient, with a boxy nasal tip characterized by a cephalic position of the lateral crura. An open primary rhinoplasty was performed with repositioning of the lateral crura with the LCSG made of autologous cartilage of the nasal septum to improve the positioning of these structures (Figure 1). Case 2 J.A.S, female patient, presented bilateral constitutional alar retraction due to cephalic malposition of lateral crura. An open primary rhinoplasty was performed with repositioning of the lateral crusts with the LCSG made of autologous cartilage of the nasal septum to correct this deformity (Figure 2). Case 3 A.C.M, female patient, with nasal valve insufficiency and consequently nasal obstruction due to previous resection of lateral cura. Open tertiary rhinoplasty was performed with reconstruction and repositioning of the excessively resected lateral crura with the LCSG made of autologous cartilage of the nasal septum. Case 4 F.A.C, male patient, presented lateral crura convex to the right, concave to the left and cephalic mal position. An open primary rhinoplasty was performed with repositioning and reconfiguration of the lateral crura with the LCSG made of autologous cartilage of the nasal septum (Figure 3).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
