“I’m actually breathing on both sides now. It’s incredible to be able to do that.
“The amount of symmetry on both sides that you were able to achieve really impressed me.
“I’m very, very happy with the results.”
Cleft rhinoplasty for adults – one of the tougher surgeries we do, but also one of the most rewarding.
Here, a previous low strip of cartilage had been removed, yet he still had problems breathing.
The bony septum required resection further back. Towards the front, vertical excess and deviation of the cartilage required septal resection and reset to the midline.
Cartilage grafts included asymmetric spreader, a caudal septal extension, columellar strut, alar rim, and stacked alar base grafts. This was from a combination of native septal cartilage, and @MTFbiologics rib cartilage.
Notably, the lateral nasal sidewall was also advanced in V-Y fashion to redistribute scar tissue, and advance the lateral crus of the LLC.

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.
