ABSTRACT
This study discusses approaches for aesthetic correction of nasal columellas, i.e. retracted and hanging columellas, most commonly observed in clinical practice. We describe a chondral-mucoperichondrial nasal septal flap and direct or indirect approaches described by Randall as our preferred procedures to correct retracted and mild to moderate hanging columella, respectively. A combination of procedures is used in more severe cases, in addition to modified Armstrong and Joseph’s approaches. These treatment options are compared to other literature reports on this specialty.
