Abstract
Alar base surgery has been widely studied in modern rhinoplasty. After the equalization of the dorsum-tip relationship and the improvement of the nasolabial, nasocolumellar and nasofrontal angle, also alar base, needs to be harmonized also. Several classifications of alar base deformities have been described, as well as many techniques for correcting them. This work aims to demonstrate that alar base symmetrization suture (abss) is effective in keeping the nasal wings symmetrical immediately after alar wedges resection and also permits maintenance of the symmetrization during time. It is a simple technique to perform with long-lasting esthetic results.
Level of evidence: Level V, therapeutic study.
