Nasal sill resection concomitant with maxillary orthognathic surgery for the management of alar base widening

Alar base widening is a common soft tissue change following Le Fort I osteotomy. Although alar cinch sutures are commonly used to limit this change, their long-term stability remains variable. Nasal sill resection may provide a direct resective option for managing horizontal excess at the alar base; however, its use concomitantly with maxillary orthognathic surgery has not been well described. This retrospective clinical series aimed to describe longitudinal nasal base width changes and patient-
