    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Rhinoplasty
    • Facial Aesthetics

    Background:

    • The alar rim's contribution to nasal aesthetics is often overlooked in rhinoplasty.
    • A lack of natural contouring techniques for the alar rim exists.
    • Nasal proportion and columella visibility depend significantly on the alar rim.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the results of directly excising the alar rim.
    • To outline the indications for alar rim excision in rhinoplasty.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique with follow-up data.

    Main Methods:

    • Direct excision of the alar rim.
    • Application in primary and secondary rhinoplasty.
    • Evaluation of outcomes in cases with adequate follow-up.
