Collected data included demographics, medical history, operative reports, and postoperative events. Skeletal reconstruction was performed using various autografts. The Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) was administered preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Most patients were female (68\/91, 75%), with a mean age of 37.6 years and 1.74 previous rhinoplasties. The average surgery duration was 239.5\u2005min. Autografts included auricular cartilage (64), costal cartilage (43), temporal fascia (12), and rectus fascia (24). No cases of dehiscence or vascular complications occurred, even in patients with multiple previous mid-columellar incisions. SCHNOS scores significantly improved, with obstruction scores decreasing from 52.86 to 18.43 (standard deviation [SD] = 8.33 vs 3.95) and cosmesis scores from 78.09 to 20.19 (SD = 6.44 vs 5.13).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The V-shaped columella\u2013labial incision does not increase the risk of vascular compromise, even in patients with mid-columellar scars.
