Is the Intraoral Cinch Suture for Nostril Narrowing Effective Years Later?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is the intraoral cinch suture still effective if i get it 1-2 years post op? This gave me so much clarity on the issue and I feel like I can now move on and try to get the help I need to get it fixed. 

A:The intraoral cinch suture is more effective when done during the original procedure where all of the midface soft tissues have been elevated. It is more of a preventative nostril narrowing maneuver rather than as a therapeutic nostril narrowing procedure.
