title: Treatment of alar cartilages: should the "domes" be interrupted?
abstract: The author emphasizes that conservative rhinoplasty techniques are frequently satisfactory, but in certain techniques there is a limit to which nasal tips can be reshaped. In certain circumstances, therefore, interruption of the "domes" of the alar cartilages is suggested to achieve the most satisfactory aesthetic results.
