Modified alar base cinching was performed effectively in patients with a modified tube switch technique. It increased positive results in comparison with non-shift. The technique of tube switch used is effective in prevention of alar flare. Because of small sample size and limited period of follow up, our study suggests multi centre, randomized studies to know the technical difficulties of tube switch for cinching and aesthetic results with varying anaesthetist and the surgeon's experience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
