Pros and Cons of Using Clinching Sutures for Nostril Reduction?

User Avatar

I have seen that some surgeons perform sill excisions and then use a clinching suture technique to bring the nostrils in and to reduce the width of the nasal floor. However this procedure doesn't seem to be widespread. Could you please explain the pros, if any, and cons to clinching suture in order to reduce nose width?
