This young man has done very well with his history of cleft lip and palate surgeries throughout childhood, and he came to us for his cleft rhinoplasty.

First and foremost, he had difficulty breathing because of a deviated septum.

From the front you can see a slight deviation of the bridge of his nose extending to the tip. As it extended into his nasal passage, the deviation was more and more apparent, causing almost complete blockage of air movement on one side.

Correction of the deviated septum – and use of the septal cartilage grafts to the dorsum and cleft side of the ala – greatly improved his breathing.

He also has an improvement of his definition and symmetry, even at just 1 month after surgery with more improvement of his swelling still ahead of him.

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.
