This man had a history of a cleft lip and a lifetime of difficulty breathing through his nose.
The septum (or wall between the two nostrils) is deviated away from the cleft, and the cartilage on the cleft side is usually smaller and weaker.
Correction of the deviated septum, and use of the cartilage for grafts to buttress the airway, helped to improve his nasal symmetry and ease of breathing.

Case Details
I thought I had sleep apnea. My wife tells me my snoring went away… I’m just sleeping a lot better. Now I feel more rested and just breathing a lot better.
Slow process of trying to actually breathe correctly for the first time in my life, through my nose instead of through the mouth.
