The Alar stent is a fairly new method to solve nasal valve collapse, the method involves adjusting the upper and lower lateral cartilages then relying on scar tissue to keep them in place once the stent is removed, this prevents collapse without the need for any cartilage grafts or implants, leading to a quick recovery. The approach has a very high success rate by all accounts. Do many of the rhinoplasty surgeons here use this method or have any opinions on this new technique?
