title: [Double triangular resection technique at the feet of the cartilaginous arch in the correction of the nasal tip. "Do not touch the dome"].
abstract: Retropulsion and modelling of the nose tip can be obtained very simply without touching the dome by means of double triangular resection at the feet of the cartilaginous arch formed by the two alar cartilages. Static and dynamic effects are obtained retropulsion, elimination of the prominence of the superior border of the alar cartilage (without shortening resection) allowing creation of a finer nose tip; rounding of the nasal orifices, improving respiratory function; suppression of labial dependence of the tip a factor responsible for secondary ptosis of the tip.
