Abstract
Columellaplasty is an important procedure in rhinoplasty. I can alter the length, width, shape, and prominence of the columella, and also the angle between the nose and the upperlip. There are many structures involved, including the medial crura of the lower lateral cartilages, the septal cartilage, the anterior maxillary spine, the fibrous tissue supporting the se cartilages, and finally the muscles of the base of the nose (Fig. 26.1).
