Abstract
Vascular occlusion following facial fillers is rare, but unfortunately has the potential for some complications. In this talk, I will discuss the aesthetic, design, and key points for my specific surgical technique considerations for successful reconstruction following deficits of the nasal ala and tip. The reconstruction of large defects of the nasal ala requires an understanding of anatomy, nasal aesthetics, and complete functionality. This surgical technique, with design in mind, likely improves the ability to recreate a nasal airway to restore physiologic function while simultaneously allowing a symmetric and natural looking external contour. In the same fashion, translating aesthetic rhinoplasty techniques into the design process facilitates the proper outcome. Striving for proper surgical technique, while keeping in mind creativity and design often leads to the best outcomes and the most satisfied patients, specifically when it comes to aesthetic rhinoplasty applications in nasal ala reconstruction
