Abstract

The goal of every rhinoplasty surgeon is to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing nose. The lateral crura resting angle, a recently described key concept, should be taken into consideration to achieve a satisfactory result. In this article, the authors describe the resting-angle suture, a novel technique derived from the inversion suture used to correct ectropion deformity in lower eyelid surgery.
