Sažetak
In this article, we describe a suturing technique for narrowing a wide or asymmetric
columellar base. The study included 30 patients. The mean nostril measurements preoperatively were
as follows: right nostril diameter 8.9 mm, left nostril diameter 8.0 mm, and columella width 16.7 mm.
Immediately after surgery, we observed significant increases in the mean right and left nostril diameters
(11.0 mm and 10.9 mm, respectively, p<0.0001), and a significant reduction in the mean columella width
(11.8 mm, p<0.0001). The outcomes were excellent in both functional and cosmetic results.
