In adult cases of bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity, an esthetically satisfying result can not be obtained only by manipulation inside the nose with the nasal tip pointing upward. The nasal tip should be made in a more anterior direction for nasal esthetic improvement. Additional tissue beyond the nose is needed, and the forked flap is a useful method in such cases.

The crooked nose is unquestionably the most severe deformity of the nasal septum due to the simultaneous involvement of very important functional and aesthetic elements. As everyday interpersonal relations are primarily conducted face-to-face, deviation of the nasal pyramid from the median line is immediately obvious even to the least observant. The surgical procedures used to address this path...

BACKGROUND Nasal pyramid fractures accompanied by saddle nose deformities are not easily corrected by closed reduction. We used an absorbable plate as a perpendicular strut to support the collapsed "keystone area" and obtained good results. METHODS Between September 2008 and June 2011, 18 patients who had nasal pyramid fractures with saddle nose deformities underwent surgery. Pre- and postope...

Dentofacial deformities present some shades and variations that determine the inclusion of different anatomical components as part of the disease; the aim of this study was to ascertain the nasal characteristics in patients with a Class III dentofacial deformity. A descriptive study was conducted on 20 patients diagnosed with a Class III facial deformity and a surgical indication; frontal and l...

Secondary deformities of the repaired cleft lip and nose result from several distinct but related components: congenitally abnormal tissues; surgically modified tissues; the innate tend...

Rhinologists therefore play an important role in the diagnostic but also therapeutic process. Although therapy of systemic disorders is primary systemic, additional nasal surgery may become necessary. Surgical p...
