A 25-year-old man reported to our hospital seeking to correct his cleft nose defect and lip scar to improve his appearance. He was previously operated elsewhere for cleft lip and palate. He had an unsightly scar of the cleft lip repair. His nose appeared bulky and deviated. Also the large, unpleasant hump of the nose affected the facial profile making his face unattractive.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed reduction rhinoplasty to decrease the overall bulk of the nose and to correct septal deviation. The lower lateral nasal septal cartilages were removed. Medial and lateral osteotomy was done with dorsal hump reduction. Cleft lip scar revision was also done. Immediately following surgery the nose appeared more proportionate and sharp. The nose profile appeared smoother & reshaped. This along with the revised lip scar greatly enhanced the facial appearance. The man was very happy with the surgery outcome and to have a more pleasing appearance.
