Abstract
The method proposed is intended to reinforce the columellar support while simultaneously correcting the nasal tip and ala and improving the nostril symmetry in patients with secondary nasal deformities following cleft lip and palate surgery It is based on using a bone cartilage autograft – a fragment that is taken from nasal dorsum and implanted into the nasal tip region Very good aesthetic and functional postoperative results were reported in all 33 patients operated on so far 28 with unilateral and five with bilateral cleft lips
