Abstract:Background:
A variety of techniques for alar base modification have been described in the literature. Limitations of these techniques include scars, recurrence, asymmetry, etc. An incorrect excision of the lateral alar wall can result in a tear-drop or Q-shaped deformity.
Objectives:
In this study, a modified V-Y advancement flap will be introduced that will avoid the complications discussed above as well as adjust the positional relationship between th… Show more
