dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Nasal musculature anatomy is a topic that plastic surgeons pay attention to. However, the presence and role of the myrtiformis muscle (MM) remain controversial. To elucidate these aspects, an anatomy-based study was conducted. Materials and methods: Seven midsagittally split and two total cadaver head's nasal bases, embalmed with modified Larssen solution (MLS), were dissected for MM anatomy. The features of this muscle were photographed, and a video of its function was recorded. Results: It was found that MM originates from the maxillary alveolar process and continues as two heads, one reaching the alar base with spicular fibrotendinous endings and the other extending to depressor septi nasi fibers. Owing to its bi-vectoral muscle fibers, MM is found to constrict the nares by simultaneously forcing the alar base and lowering the columella. It was also found that left-sided muscles were larger than right-sided muscles. Conclusions: The MM is found to be a constrictor muscle of the nares in this study, contrary to recent observations.en_US
