Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of advanced rotation flap(ARF)combined with skin wedge excision(WE)on the alar base reduction.Methods Twenty three patients who presented with broad alar,broad nasal sill and broad nasal base received ARF+WE alar base reduction and were followed up for 6 months.The alar width was reduced by boomerang incision ARF+WE.The uni-lateral sill width,alar base width and inter-alar width were measured before operation and 6 months after the operation.The difference be-fore and after operation was statistically analyzed by paired t test.Results The ratio of the unilateral sill width,alar base width and in-ter-alar width to the inter-canthal distance were statistically decreased post-operation.None of the patients suffered from infection,poor blood circulation of the skin flap and malformation of the nostril.Nostril asymmetry occurred in 1 case and secondary wound healing oc-curred in 2 cases.The nasal base width in both frontal and basal view were improved significantly.Conclusion The ARF+WE alar base reduction technique can reduce the SW,IAW and ABW effectively,it's a safe and easily applied technique.
