The alar nose is a structure build with mucous membrane, cartilage, subcutaneous tissue and skin. It is a functional and aesthetic structure of the nose with relevance, being affected by changes caused by nose surgery, infection and trauma. Recognition of the aesthetic and function alar rim at surgery creates a more elegant transition from the alar base to the tip. Surgery can cause iatrogenic concavity by the use of transdomal sutures, lateral crural suture spanning and removal of cephalic portion of lower lateral cartilage. Infection can destroy mucous membrane, cartilage and cause retraction. Trauma causes a loss of tissue resulting en retraction. These study present techniques to recovery functional and aesthetic structure of the nose, using cases about action specific in alar contour.
