Refinements in Extended Alar Contour Grafts: Retrograde Approach in Conjunction with Alar Base Surgery

Alar contour grafts are an excellent adjunct in both primary and revision rhinoplasty for correction and prevention of alar rim irregularities. They are traditionally placed at the conclusion of a rhinoplasty through a vestibular incision along the underside of the alar rim. Alternatively, alar base...

Summary:Alar contour grafts are an excellent adjunct in both primary and revision rhinoplasty for correction and prevention of alar rim irregularities. They are traditionally placed at the conclusion of a rhinoplasty through a vestibular incision along the underside of the alar rim. Alternatively, alar base resection provides an opportunity for precise retrograde placement of alar contour grafts. The purpose of this article is to describe an efficient, five-step technique for retrograde placement of alar contour grafts in the setting of concomitant alar base surgery.
