Introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the long-term nasal tip contouring using alar spanning suture with permanent sutures. Methods: The study included 30 Caucasian patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty using alar spanning suture for nasal tip projection between May 2020 and December 2021. The surgical procedure involved making a closed rhinoplasty. Results: Spanning sutures technique was shown to be effective in providing stable tip projection and definition. Rhinoplasty Outcome Evalua- tion (ROE) questionnaire has been used to evaluate patient satisfaction and outcome after 18 months from surgery.
