“…In patients with multiple tip deformities, a rainbow graft could be considered a viable option for reconstruction [17] . Comprehensive grafts have been attempted with varying success, including the nasal tip tripod graft, which has been shown as a useful technique in cases of severe tip deformity to reconstruct the entire nasal tip in one single structured graft [54] .…”

Secondary rhinoplasty to address complications from initial surgical intervention is a technically challenging operation. Common aesthetic complications that plague patients after primary rhinoplasty include nasal tip asymmetries, bossae, and alar retraction. These adverse outcomes are usually a result of over-manipulation and/or over-excision of native cartilage and are especially prevalent in patients with thick lower lateral cartilages and thin nasal skin. Techniques to minimize tissue handling, maintain natural nasal anatomic support and structure, and soften sharp edges from cartilage grafts or incisions are all essential in the prevention of nasal tip irregularities. In addition to prevention, there are many operative and procedural interventions to correct tip asymmetries, bossae, and alar retraction. These interventional corrections include varying cartilage and/or fascial grafts, camouflaging of previously performed grafts, and repositioning of the alar cartilage.

“…From this view, tip projection, nostril/ nostril sill contour, columellar contour, alar base width, and alar flaring are all assessed. 6,7,10,[20][21][22] Historically, the basal view of the nose was only seen by "dogs and lovers and neither minded." However, in an era with smart phones and countless "selfies," the basal view has become a primary concern for many patients seeking a rhinoplasty.…”

Alar base surgery is approached with hesitancy and is often avoided by many surgeons because of inexperience and a lack of understanding. However, with a thorough knowledge of the anatomy and dynamic nature of the lower third of the nose, alar base resection can achieve favorable and reproducible results. Beyond correcting alar flare, an appropriately diagnosed and performed alar base procedure serves to contour both the alar rim and the alar base. The following article presents a case series of 436 consecutive rhinoplasties from a single surgeon, 214 of which underwent alar base surgery. The outcomes demonstrate that the procedure is safe and yields desirable results without a single revision being required. As the third in a series of three articles on alar base surgery by the senior author (R.J.R.), this article unifies the management of the alar base. An intuitive approach to the classification and management of alar flare and the implications of alar base surgery on contouring of the alar base and alar rim is presented.
