Balancing the Anteroposterior Diameters of the Nostril Lengths in Cleft Rhinoplasty

Abstract

Background Osteocartilaginous deformities in cleft rhinoplasties may be restored with numerous techniques. However, the anteroposterior (AP) diameter lengths of the nostrils may still be unequal and should also be addressed. A technique was designed to balance nostril AP diameter lengths and apical shapes.
