Cleft Lip Rhinoplasty

Get away from the discomfort and burden caused by congenital deformities!

Cleft lip rhinoplasty presents an extreme challenge to the surgeon, so only surgeons who have rich experiences can provide satisfactory operation results.

What is Cleft Lip Rhinoplasty?

Cleft lip is a type of birth defects. Surgery can fix splits in the upper lip at infancy. Cleft lip often causes nasal deformation. One side of the upper jawbone does not grow or agglutinate, resulting in a defect in the bony structure of nasal floor. Thus, the nose at the side with cleft lip will be flattened and look wide.

The reason that cleft lip rhinoplasties are complex is due to severe nostrils and floor asymmetry. Because the asymmetry starts from the nasal base floor and the positions of the two nostrils & ala are different, correction is difficult. Therefore, cleft lip rhinoplasty must be performed by a surgeon who has rich experiences to ensure a satisfied result.

- Nostril asymmetry may reoccur along with time. Continued treatment after operation is needed to prevent the reoccurrence of uneven nostrils.
