Early post-op results after a cleft rhinoplasty.

Bringing the alar base forward is especially challenging if not released and augmented at the time of the primary lip repair.

Volume can be added with a rib cartilage graft (self vs MTF), but the lining required release and some recruitment from the surrounding tissue.

The asymmetry in the lower lateral cartilages can be more pronounced in some patients. (Some authors say the two sides are the same size, but I don’t think so.)

Additional bulk here can be achieved with an additional alar batten graft on the cleft side.

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.
