Linhardt Method.—This author excises an elliptical section of tissue from the inferior base of both nasal wings, as shown in [Fig. 498].
A similar procedure has heretofore been described in [Fig. 485] in connection with correction of the lobule.
The section removed includes as much of the cartilage as is necessary to thin out the wing of the nose and to overcome the atresia.
The parts are sutured as shown in [Fig. 499].

Dieffenbach Method.—In this method cone-shaped section of skin and cartilage are removed from the wings of the nose, as shown in [Fig. 500].
If the septum is too wide, two or three of the same shaped sections are removed from it.
