This is a case of saddle nose where the bridge of the nose was flat and alar base was broad giving an unattractive appearance. Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr S. M. Balaji corrected the saddle nose by augmenting the dorsum of the nose with costochondral graft harvested from the rib cartilage. Dr Balaji has done the entire surgery by closed rhinoplasty technique to avoid scar formation. After surgery the facial appearance was greatly enhanced.

A 13 year old girl from Dubai was brought to our hospital with the complaint of defective shape of the nose due to birth defect. Her parents consulted many plastic surgeons for cosmetic correction of her nose, but they were not convinced. Finally she was brought to our hospital for correction of the nose defect. Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji successfully corrected her nose defect by following Denonvilliers technique.
