Abstract:
From 1998 to 1999, congenital malformation of nose in 25 subjects (6 male, 19 female, aged 11-23) were repaired after a plastic surgery. All subjects were examined for assessing the malformation, 3 photographic images of 3 positions were taken before and after the operation and after 6 months, 12 months follow up. The repairing surgery must be conducted at the age of 13-19 years. Vastibulary membrane must be conserved persistently after the first time of repairing and in the secondary time of repairing the malformation. It is necessary to repair the soft tissues covering the conserved cartilege. Making X shape on vestibulary membrane contributes to make plastic repairing of the frame of cartilage better
