Lesions and defects of the nasal tip and alar rim can be reconstructed using composite or full thickness grafts from the proximal alar crease region. The texture, surface effect, and color match much better than the conventional skin grafts…

Two cases of nasal ala reconstruction are presented, documenting the feasibility of sequentially adding one cartilage-containing composite ear graft onto another in piggyback fashion. The junction between the composites is relatively unnoti…

A surgical technique is described for correcting the drooping alar rim associated with cleft lip. An incision is made on the cleft-side alar rim such that the rims will be symmetrical. After extensive undermining between the dorsal skin and…

The author describes his method of surgical corrections of the hare lip nose which is based on publications in the literature. In addition he has developed his own technique of modelling the nasal top through intracartilagenous incisions an…

The upper lip is vulnerable to rapid aging, and because it is a key vehicle of expression it may distort the communication of positive inward feelings, demoralizing and defeating the subject. Rhytidectomy may only leave the aging lip more c…

All patients with bilateral complete clefts of the lip and some patients with incomplete clefts have a short or almost non-existing columella. This is a characteristic deformity which can only be corrected by surgical lengthening of the col…

The descent of the tip of the nose will betray aging even after a successful rhytidectomy. To ensure a youthful profile, the author presents a simple technique to correct the drooping nasal tip, provided there is no deformation of the later…

The cleft lip nasal deformity is a result of imbalance of the structures caused by a collapsed alar cartilage, a widened nostril floor, and a lowered nasal orifice. This deformity can be corrected most readily by repositioning and supportin…

Some children with bilateral cleft lips do not grow a long enough nose and require surgical lengthening of the nose. We review our 12-year experience with a one-stage slide operation to achieve this. Seven males and 5 females had this opera…

A lateral lip flap, with a perialar extension, is described for reconstruction of defects of the upper lip which extend into the columella and/or the nostril floor.…

A method to correct the cleft lip nasal deformity is described. It consists of complete mobilization of the alar cartilage, and keeping it in position with two lifting thread loops which are anchored to the dorsal part of the septal cartila…

Cancer of the nose is very common and lesions seen by reconstructive surgeons are often recurrent and extensive. Surgical removal of cancer of the nasal skin can usually be accomplished under local anesthesia, and in most instances frozen s…

The enlargements of the inner valve is achieved by dividing the upper lateral cartilages from the septum and the coverage of this defect by a flap from the cranial border of the lower lateral cartilages. The usefullness of the so-called low…

Two consecutive cases of nasal reconstruction, using a contralateral nasolabial flap for lining and a scalping forehead flap for cover, are reported. The procedure has been useful in repairing defects from large nasal lesions extending to t…
