“Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging cosmetic surgical procedures. Although different techniques have been introduced for grafting the osteocartilaginous part of the nose, the alar rim remains vastly unexamined. The form and strength of the alar rim are crucial in nasal tip esthetics and function. External valve…”
