Rhinoplasty for correction of cleft nose defect to enhance appearance

9/1/2015

0 Comments

 
A girl with unilateral cleft lip and palate defect came to our hospital seeking to correct her cleft nose defect to enhance her appearance. The cleft lip and palate defects were treated elsewhere in her childhood. Now her right nostril appeared collapsed and the tip of the nose appeared sagging which affected her facial appearance.

Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the cleft rhinoplasty to correct her nose defect. A costochondral graft was harvested to obtain a columellar strut graft. Using a transcolumellar approach, the columellar strut was used to straighten the columella, raise the nose height and reconstruct the collapsed right ala of the nose. Following surgery, the nostrils and nose tip was reshaped giving the nose a sharp, pristine form that gave her face a more attractive appearance.

A young man reported to our hospital wanting to straighten his deviated nose. The dorsum of the nose and the nose tip was deviated more to the right giving his nose a crooked appearance that affected his facial profile.

Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the rhinoplasty to correct the nose defect. The position of the deviated nasal septum was corrected aligning the nasal dorsum and tip of the nose in the mid-line of the face. Immediately following surgery his nose no longer appeared crooked and his appearance was considerably enhanced with negligible surgical mark. The patient was very happy with the cosmetic results of the rhinoplasty.

A girl with unilateral cleft lip and palate previously operated elsewhere came to our hospital wanting to correct her deformed nose shape and remove the scar on her lip to enhance her appearance.

Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed a combined surgery to correct the lip and nose defects. Using a transcolumellar approach, a columellar strut from a rib graft, was interpositioned between lateral nasal cartilage to straighten the columella, raise the nose height and reconstruct the collapsed left ala of the nose. Thus deviated nasal tip was brought to the midline of the face. Scar on the upper lip left side was also revised. Following the surgery, the girl’s facial profile was enhanced with the reshaped nose and corrected lip scar.
