The effect of the tongue in groove technique on the nasolabial angle and nasal tip projection
Abstract Background The tongue in groove technique (TIG) is a useful technique for the correction of the nasal tip projection and the nasolabial angle. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of this technique for nasal tip rotation and projection correction in the Iranian society. Me...
