The secondary correction of cleft lip nasal deformity (CLND) presents difficult surgical problems. Characteristically, nostrils are asymmetric. The present study was aimed to examine and compare the effect of Straith's alar web Z-plasty, Millard's alar web Z-plasty, alar web excision, and lateral V-Y advancement of the alar base for augmentation of the nostril with or without lengthening the columella in CLND. The subjects were 28 patients with unilateral cleft lip, who had secondary nostril correction. The nostril correction methods were Straith's alar web Z-plasty, Millard's alar web Z-plasty, alar web excision, and lateral V-Y advancement of the alar base. Facial photographs were taken before and 20 days after the operation. By using Adobe photoshop, the columella length and the nostril width were measured from the facial frontal photograph and Worm's eye view. The degree of improvement was calculated and statistically analyzed. The degree of improvement of the columella length using Straith's alar web Z-plasty was 70.20%. And then Millard's alar web Z-plasty was 55.01%, alar web excision was 39.93%, and lateral V-Y advancement of the alar base was 16.38% in order. The degree of improvement of the nostril size using lateral V-Y advancement of the alar base was 55.26%. And then alar web excision was 52.72%, Millard's alar web Z-plasty was 34.86%, and Straith's alar web Z-plasty was 16.06% in order. Straith's alar web Z-plasty and Millard's alar web Z-plasty resulted in elongation of the columella, equalization of asymmetrical nostril, and enlargement of small nostrils. Alar web excision enlarged nostrils and restored symmetry. Lateral VY advancement of the alar base increased nostril width and enlarged nostrils. These results indicate that the correction of nostrils improve the shape and the symmetry of the nostrils in CLND.

Purpose: Most unilateral secondary cleft lip nose deformities have depressed nostril base and sill on the cleft side. To obtain a symmetric nose, correction of the recession on nostril is critical. The authors have worked out effective methods to elevate the nostril of the cleft side according to the extent of the depression. Methods: A total of 115 unilateral secondary cleft lip nose deformity patients with nostril depression were evaluated. Data were acquired from patients' charts and photography with special reference to the height difference of the nostrils between the cleft side and the non - cleft side. Patients were divided into three groups based on the difference and operated with various techniques : (1) mild degree(< 1 mm) with graft, (2) moderate degree(1 ~ 3 mm) with C - flap or suspension suture of septal cartilage (3) severe degree(> 3 mm) with graft, C - flap and suspension suture. Follow - up period averaged 21.3 months. Results: Forty - six patients(40 percent) were in mild group, and forty - two(37 percent) were in moderate. In twenty - seven patients(23 percent), nostril recession was more than 3 mm. The elevated nostril base and sill were maintained without height alteration during follow - up. Conclusion: The symmetry of the nostril base, especially projection of nostril sill influences successful correction of unilateral cleft lip nose deformity. Our tolerable techniques can be applied to most deformities with nostril depression and can present a new guideline.
The primary procedural components of deviated nose correction are as follows: osteotomy to correct bony deviation, septal deviation correction, manipulation of the dorsal septum to correct upper lateral cartilage deviation, and correction of functional problems (manipulation for correction of internal valve collapse and hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate). The correction of tip and nostril asymmetry cannot be overemphasized, because if tip and nostril asymmetry is not corrected, patients are unlikely to provide favorable evaluations from an aesthetic standpoint. Tip asymmetry, deviated columella, and resulting nostril asymmetry are primarily caused by lower lateral cartilage problems, which include deviation of the medial crura, discrepancy in the height of the medial crura, and asymmetry or deformity of the lateral crura. However, caudal and dorsal septal deviation, which is a more important etiology, should also be corrected. A columellar strut graft, correction of any discrepancy in the height of the medial crura, or lateral crural correction is needed to correct lower lateral cartilage deformation depending on the type. In order to correct caudal septal deviation, caudal septal shortening, repositioning, or the cut-and-suture technique are used. Surgery to correct dorsal septal deviation is performed by combining a scoring and splinting graft, a spreader graft, and/or the clocking suture technique. Moreover, when correcting a deviated nose, correction of asymmetry of the alar rim and alar base should not be overlooked to achieve tip and nostril symmetry.
Unilateral nostril hypoplasia is an extremely rare congenital malformation of unknown etiology, and only a few cases have been reported in literature. Owing to variability and complexity of the deformity, surgical correction of unilateral nostril hypoplasia represents one of the most significant reconstructive challenges to reconstructive plastic surgeons. We report a 7-year-old Vietnamese child with nasal and periocular deformity resembling a craniofacial cleft. Grossly, the right nostril was patent but with alar rim deformity, and the left nostril was not readily identifiable. A dystopic medial canthus was present on the left side as well. Closer inspection and palpation of the left side of nose revealed a patency through the soft tissue and underlying bony structure, Thus, a new alar rim were reconstructed with an irregularly shaped Z-plasty to create patency on the involved side. Simulatneously, a second Z-plasty was performed to address the medial canthal deformity. Postoperative appearance and function was sastisfactory at one-year follow up visit. In the treatment of patients with nostril hypoplasia, a careful preoperative physical examination is a prerequisite, and Z-plasty can be a valuable option for surgical correction.
Background: Patients with secondary deformities associated with unilateral cleft lip and nose might also suffer from nostril stenosis due to a lack of tissue volume in the nostril on the cleft side. Here, we used full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) to reduce nostril stenosis and various methods for skin volume augmentation. We compared the changes in the symmetry of both nostrils before and after surgery. Methods: From February 2016 to January 2020, 34 patients underwent secondary cheiloplasty and open rhinoplasty for secondary deformities of the unilateral cleft lip and nose with nostril stenosis. FTSG was used on the nostril floor, nasal columella, and alar inner lining. The measured nasal profile included the nostril surface, nostril circumference, width of the nostril floor, and distance from the alar-facial groove to the nasal tip. The "overlap area," which was defined as the largest overlapping area when the image of the cleft nostril was flipped to the left and right and overlaid on the image of the normal side nostril, was also calculated. The degree of symmetry was evaluated by dividing the value of the cleft side by that of the normal side of each measured profile and expressed as "ratios." Results: The results of all profile ratios, except for the nostril floor width, became significantly close to 1, which represents full symmetry. The overlap area ratio improved from 62.7% to 77.3%, meaning that the length and width of the nostril as well as the overall shape became similar (p< 0.05). Conclusion: When performing cleft rhinoplasty with nostril stenosis, FTSG is useful to achieve symmetry in the nostril size and shape. Skin grafting is simpler to perform than the other types of local flap, and the results are generally satisfactory.

Purpose: Supernumerary nostril, also known as triple nostril or accessory nostril, is one of the extremely rare congenital nasal deformities which includes an additional nostril. Since Lindsey reported the first case of a supernumerary nostril, only 34 cases of supernumerary nostril have been reported world widely. And there was no any domestic case. In the present case, we described a case of supernumerary nostril and reviewed all the literature cases of supernumerary nostril. Methods: A 10-month-old female patient visited to the authors with an additional nostril located above her right nostril, which had been present since birth. Antenatal history was uneventful and the infant's birth was normal. On physical examination there were no other abnormalities and additional nostril was communicating with ipsilateral normal nasal cavity. We performed fistulectomy and local flap for the correction. Results: After 7 months postoperatively, the patient was doing well. The functional outcome was excellent and the cosmetic result was satisfactory. During the long term follow-up for 8 years, there were no specific problems. Conclusion: In supernumerary nostril, preoperative evaluation of other abnormalities is very important and we advocate that corrective surgery can be performed at an early age for patient's psychosocial development.
Purpose: In the treatment of the unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities, the correction of the low-nostril height and short-columella are very difficult problems. We report the treatment outcomes of web uni-limb Z-plasty used for correction of unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities by using photographic analysis. Methods: A total of 36 patients with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities were enrolled in this study, who underwent web uni-limb Z-plasty and were followed up for at least 6 months. First, a triangular flap was made on the medial side of alar-columella web. The nostril apex of cleft side was corrected to a higher point compared to noncleft side by 2 mm. The flap was transposed into the defect of the vestibule. To reduce the bulging of the flap, horizontal cinching sutures were added. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated by using photographic analysis. 2 indices and 1 angle were measured on their photographs taken before and after the surgery. Symmetry was also evaluated by means of the noncleft side to cleft side index. For anthropologic assessment, observers described postoperative outcomes, using Ordinary Scale Method. Results: The postoperative values obtained in photographic analysis improved compared to preoperative ones. More improving anthropologic assessment was shown in post-than pre-operative. Conclusion: Although, further long term follow up is needed, we found this technique to be an effective procedure to the symmetry of nostril apex level and the lengthening of columella in the unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities.
Purpose: Nostril stenosis is an uncommon deformity that develops as a consequence of smallpox, chickenpox, tuberculosis, syphilis, congenital malformations etc. There have been several studies on the surgical techniques to treat it. However, it is difficult to maintain the result for a long time. The goal of this study is to evaluate the use of Wplasty, perialar flap as an operative techniques and expansion exercise using Foley catheter as a method to keep the patency of nostril. Methods: This is a retrospective review of the senior surgeon's (Y.L.) patients who underwent W-plasty and a perialar flap. Patients treated from 2005 to 2009 were reviewed and the postoperative results were evaluated. Average patient age was 24 years, ranged from 1 to 61 years, average follow-up period was 27.5 months, ranged from 3 to 77 months. The mild deformity was released with an incision and expansion by the ballooning of a Foley catheter and corrected by W-plasty only. However, a severe deformity required an additional procedure including perialar flap transposition. During the postoperative period, the patients maintained a nasal stent and exercise using a Foley catheter to prevent recurrence. Results: Five cases of nostril stenosis in four patients were treated using this technique. One case was corrected with W-plasty only, but four cases were more severe and were corrected with W-plasty and a perialar flap. There were no perioperative complications. The patients were satisfied with the results and retained a good shape during the follow-up periods. Conclusion: Nostril stenosis can be corrected with W-plasty and a perialar flap. A perialar flap is added if W-plasty is unable to correct the deformity. A postoperative nasal stent and expansion with a Foley catheter can help in preventing recurrences.
Purpose: The secondary correction of cleft lip nasal deformity still presents a difficult surgical problems. The present study was aimed to investigate the usefulness of Bardach's technique for secondary correction of cleft lip nasal deformity. Materials and Methods: The subjects were eight patients with unilateral and bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity, who had secondary correction by using Bardach's rhinoplasty technique. Age range was from 2 to 21 years and mean age was 10.6 years. There were 3 boys and 5 girls. Six patients had bilateral and two patients had unilateral cleft lip. Facial photographs were taken before and twenty days after the operation. By using Adobe photoshop, the columella height and the nostril width were measured from the facial frontal photograph and Worm's eye view. The degree of improvement was calculated and statistically analyzed. Results: The degree of improvement of the columella length and the nostril width after Bardach's technique was $70.39{\pm}50.14%$ and $-22.93{\pm}0.15%$ respectively. Bardach's technique resulted in projecting the nasal tip, lengthening the columella, medially advancing the alar bases, restructuring the lower lateral cartilages, and changing orientation of the nostrils from horizontal to oblique. The profile view shows projection of the nasal tip, lengthening of the columella, and the change in the nasolabial angle. The scars remained at the philtrum were matter little in compared with improvement of the nasal appearance. Conclusion: These results indicate that Bardach's technique is an useful surgical technique for secondary correction of cleft lip nasal deformity.

Purpose: Philtral deformity is a stigma of secondary cleft lip nose. It occurs from the false arrangement of orbicularis oris muscle and the scar of previous operation. Various methods have been used to correct this deformity. We successfully corrected philtral deformity using overlapping of orbicularis oris muscle flap. Methods: From November 2000 to August 2007, we performed 39 cases of correction of philtral deformity in secondary cleft lip nose with overlapping of orbicularis oris muscle flap. Their age ranged from 5 to 53 years old. Existing scar tissue of previous operation was deepithelialized and preserved as scar flap. Lateral orbicularis oris muscle flap was elevated, advanced and overlapped upon medial muscle flap after dissection of orbicularis oris muscle of both sides. Reconstruction of philtral column was made from overlapping area by fixation of end part of lateral muscle flap to the point between philtral dimple and column. The degree of muscle flap advancement was decided by correction state of lateral muscle bulging. Correction of nostril floor depression or whistle deformity was also performed with preserved scar flap, if necessary. Results: Realignments of orbicularis oris muscle were possible in the majority of the patients and final results of philtral reconstruction were satisfactory mostly. Correction of nostril floor depression and whistle deformity was also achieved. Additional correction was performed later to 4 patients in whom insufficient reconstruction was noted. No significant complication was observed. Conclusion: More natural and symmetric philtrum was acquired with overlapping of orbicularis oris muscle flap. To the authors' knowledge, it is an easy and effective method for correction of philtral deformity through anatomical rearrangement of distorted orbicularis oris muscle with relatively simple procedure.
