Abstract
We describe our technique for correcting a nasal deformity associated with cleft lip in oriental people. Cantilevered iliac bone grafts are used to pr ovide additional structural support and to achieve the desired nasal projec tion and profile. Augmentation of the nasal bridge creates the illusion of a narrower nose. This technique was used in 20 patients with severe nasal d eformities. Clinically and radiographically it consistently produced good, longlasting results.
