Abstract
Nostril stenosis is typically caused by retraction and contraction after trauma or
infection, although loss of nasal tissue is not common during rhinoplasty. This clinical
report describes the fabrication of a nasal stent to replace the lost columella and
a columella prosthesis for a patient who had had reconstructive surgery for nasal
valve collapse and a missing columella. The stent established a comfortable means
of nasal air exchange that was also esthetically acceptable. The stent also provided
the necessary support for the nasal tissue before further nasal reconstructive surgeries.
