Article Abstract
A characteristic short columella and decreased nasal projection is common in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate following primary repair. The main disadvantage of the previously described secondary columellar lengthening procedures is the cosmetically undesirable "banking" of forked flaps in the nasal sill. We introduce a modified sliding flap cheilorhinoplasty that involves the recruitment of soft tissue adjacent to lip scars to achieve adequate columellar lengthening without the aforementioned banking of forked flaps. The end result is simultaneous columellar lengthening and lip scar revision.

Aim: Due to the diversity and complexity of tissues involved in secondary nasal deformities following unilateral cleft lip, secondary nasal deformity correction surgeries are challenging and often yield unsatisfactory results, posing a difficult problem for plastic surgeons. Autologous cartilage, with its low sculpting difficulty, minimal absorption, and stable tissue compatibility, is considered the optimal material for reconstructing the columella, nasal tip, and alar. This study analyzed the clinical outcomes of using autologous cartilage to create a Y-shaped columella to correct secondary nasal deformities after cleft lip surgery.

Article Synopsis
- This study looks into a new approach to rhinoplasty using an external septa framework, specifically tailored for East Asian patients.
- The technique involves harvesting costal cartilage to create various grafts that provide support and reshape the nasal structure, while also using different materials for augmentation.
- Results measured through photos and satisfaction surveys show significant improvements in nasal angles, lengths, and projections after surgery, indicating the efficacy of the external septa framework in enhancing rhinoplasty outcomes.

Background: Improving growth-related nasal stability is a critical goal of primary cleft lip repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the growth-related stability of the nose after unilateral complete cleft lip (UCCL) repair with standard rotation-advancement (RA) and modified rotation-advancement (MRA) techniques.
Material And Method: In this retrospective study, 52 non-syndromic (UCCL) patients were treated with a MRA technique, where a C-flap and a superiorly based advanced flap were used to lengthen and support the columella and nasal sill, and 48 patients were treated with a standard RA technique.
