Alar retraction

Fig. 12.1 (A–D) Preoperative photos of the patient.


Analysis of Preoperative Photos


The dorsum is convex to the right with narrowing of the left middle vault. The tip is asymmetric, amorphous, pinched, and deviated to the left. There is a bossa on the left with collapse and retraction of the left nasal ala and rim. The right alar rim is more mildly retracted. There is a residual bony hump. The tip is over-rotated and under-projected. The caudal septum deviates to the right.
