A 25-year-old girl came to our hospital seeking to correct the defects in her nose and upper lip to enhance her appearance. She was born with unilateral cleft lip and palate for which she was operated in her childhood. Now her nose appeared collapsed & flattened and there was an irregular scar on her upper lip.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed a combined augmentation rhinoplasty and lip revision to correct the defects and improve her appearance. A costochondral rib graft was harvested and used to reconstruct the nasal framework. Dorsum of nose was augmented and alar base reconstruction was done through weir incisions. With this the nose was reshaped to a sharper, pristine form. Upper lip scar revision was also done in the same surgery. Immediately following correction of the nose & lip defect, her appearance improved greatly and she was very pleased with the surgery outcome.
