Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In our study, we showed that the septal extension graft (SEG) technique, which we applied for nasal projection in rhinoplasty surgery, increases the tension of the lateral cartilage (LC) and alar structures. We also demonstrated that nasal congestion could be treated by applying this technique in patients with nasal obstruction due to bilateral dynamic alar collapse.
