In order to streamline the nasal profile, plastic surgeons often perform a rhinoplasty procedure to the alar base. An alar base reduction is designed to reduce the size…
Rhinoplasty presents manifold opportunities to expand technique as well as advance facial aesthetics. Concerning the latter, the nose should not progress from a rigidly defined source but should be a continua tion of flowing lines that are graceful punctuations of other facial features. The root of the nose, or radix,…

In like fashion, it is clear that a surgeon charged with remodeling a nose cannot simply arrive in the operating room and…
