[The correction of one cause of the short nose: how to bring the retracted alar rim downwards?].
The author reports a genuine procedure called the "sliding flap" used to correct the retraction of the rim of the nostril upward. The new position of the rim is stabilized by a simple resorbable thread through the skin fixing the rim in the new situation. This technique is efficient in both primary and secondary cases.
