External incisions on the nose

Abstract
Scars on the nose are very inconspicuous. For this reason it is possible to correct various types of nasal deformities employing external incisions. The most commonly employed of these are analyzed. Special references are made to correction of cleft lip and Latin American (Mestizo) noses. A small triangle resected in the anterior part of the nostril can change a flared nostril to a narrower one. When very fine sutures are used, the scars are almost invisible after a few months.
