Various surgical techniques have been developed to achieve this effect. In this work, the author wanted to focus not only on the satisfactory shape of the nose, but above all on its main role\u2014functionality. In this article, the asymmetrical lateral crus steal (ALCS) technique is proposed, which in its assumption will enable narrowing, better defining and rotating of the nasal tip, and at the same time enhancing nasal patency. We present a retrospective analysis within the group of 267 patients who underwent primary open-approach rhinoplasty that included the ALCS technique. The mean follow-up time was 12 months. A total of 232 patients achieved very good postoperative results without observation of any serious complications related to breathing difficulties or asymmetry of the nasal tip shape. ALCS is a relatively simple surgical technique to perform. The use of the ALCS suture creates the possibility of proper profiling of the nasal tip while improving the respiratory functions of the nose.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1787723","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,18]],"date-time":"2024-06-18T19:06:53Z","timestamp":1718737613000},"page":"334-341","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Asymmetrical
