Orthognathic surgery affects both function and aesthetics. An important aesthetic complication is the nasal alteration that can result from Le Fort I osteotomy. A common method for countering this complication is the alar base cinch suture technique. Although the method for this suture has been standardized, the results vary and are inconsistent; further improvements are therefore required. The objective of this study was to review the literature data on the alar base cinch suture technique and associated results. In this review, the PubMed, Ovid, and Ichushi-Web electronic databases were searched using logical combinations of keywords related to the perinasal musculature and alar base cinch suture technique. Following screening of the results, 42 publications were included. The review findings prompted several conclusions. The anatomy of the myrtiformis muscle and depressor septi nasalis may differ between ethnicities, and it is essential to take certain factors related to ethnicity into account when implementing the alar base cinch suture technique. It is also important to consider factors such as the patient's aesthetic preferences.

Objectives: To introduce a novel technique using the buried-guided suture method for suspending the alar crus to correct nostril exposure in East Asians and to investigate its safety and efficacy.
Methods: Patients with ptotic alar crus and nostril exposure at our clinic were enrolled between December 2011 and December 2023. Via an intranasal incision, the excess skin on the inner side of the nostrils was excised.
Artificial Neural Network-Assisted Facial Analysis for Planning of Orthognathic Surgery.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Pernambuco, Recife-PE, Brazil.
Background: Facial analysis for orthognathic surgery aims to identify facial features and determine how occlusion should be corrected to achieve facial balance. Several artificial neural networks have been developed to detect facial landmarks; however, no publications have reported the application of neural networks to measure facial proportions specifically for orthognathic surgery planning. Objectives: To develop a computer program that automates facial measurements through photograph capture, as well as to present the development stages of the program and the test results evaluating its effectiveness.

Patients who underwent cleft lip surgery in childhood may develop nasal malformation later in life. Various procedures have been described to correct these malformations. This study aims to describe our surgical approach and assess the morphometric outcomes of secondary cleft-lip rhinoplasty performed at the plastic surgery department in Marseille between 2002 and 2022.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the impacts of undertaking symmetrical bone repair of the nasal alar base combined with nasolabial deformity repair versus nasolabial deformity repair alone on the improvement in nasal deformity of patients with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar cleft.
Methods: Fifty patients presenting with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar cleft were evaluated. Among them, 20 underwent nasolabial deformity repair solely (non-bone grafting group), whereas 30 patients received bone repair in conjunction with nasolabial deformity repair (bone-repair group).
