Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the aesthetic effect of alar rim graft. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was performed from October 2010 to February 2015, with 14 Patients who underwent alar rim graft. We performed facial photographs and visual analog scale (VAS), before and 3 months after surgery. Satisfactory was referred as 10 while unsatisfactory was referred as 0 in VAS. Each Aesthetic change and satisfaction were evaluated through comparing preoperative and postoperative facial photographs and VAS. Results: In all patients, alar rim graft was performed with or without septoplasty, rhinoplasty and inferior turbinoplasty. The VAS was improved postoperatively, with the mean scale falling from 7.1 to 1.2. All patients had satisfaction in aesthetic results. Conclusions: The alar rim graft is an easy and effective procedure for improving cosmetic nasal valve. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2016;27:98-102)
