Abstract:
In this article, we describe a suturing technique for narrowing a wide or asymmetric columellar base. The study included 30 patients. The mean nostril measurements preoperatively were as follows: right nostril diameter 8.9 mm, left nostril diameter 8.0 mm, and columella width 16.7 mm. Immediately after surgery, we observed significant increases in the mean right and left nostril diameters (11.0 mm and 10.9 mm, respectively, p<0.0001), and a significant reduction in the mean columella width (11.8 mm, p<0.0001). The outcomes were excellent in both functional and cosmetic results.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
