This beautiful patient is thrilled after her cleft rhinoplasty!
She had the normal development we see with most cleft lip patients.
Her septum was pointing to the right — away from the cleft side — causing severe nasal obstruction.
She also had slumping and weakness of the cartilage and skin on the same side as her cleft lip.
We performed a closed technique (incisions all inside the nostrils), to straighten the septum.
Cartilage grafts from the removed septum were then used to straighten and support her nose.
She is seen here 1 month after her surgery, breathing better than ever! Swelling gradually improves over the next 6-12 months.
