Abstract

A system for subjective and objective clinical analysis of the lower third of the nose before and after lengthening the columella was devised, and used the study of photographs of 77 patients who had had lengthening done by one of 4 approaches. It was found that each method was equally effective in lengthening the columella and in restoring a normal relationship between the structures in the tip of triangle (the basal view of the nose). However, there were certain peculiar advantages and disadvantages of each surgical technique, and these are discussed.
