Abstract
We introduce modified nasal to oral tube switch technique for modified alar cinching to prevent alar flare after orthognathic and nasal corrective surgeries. The technique is beneficial to prevent alar flare. Modified alar base cinching is effective in patients with modified tube switch technique. It increased positive results. The technique of tube switch is effective in prevention of alar flare. We suggest multi center randomized studies to know the technical difficulties of tube switch for cinching.Entities:
