Abstract:
Objective To improve the corrected results of the nasal deformities of the hare lip nose. Methods Based on the reposition of the lower lateral cartilages and the caudal septum, the authors corrected the secondary hare lip nose with the L shaped silicon rubber graft to reinforce and model the nasal tip.Results From 1996～2000, the procedure was performed for 20 cases (15 male, 5 female ), aged from 16～21 years. Follow up was from 3 months to 4 years. All cases obtained satisfactory results. Conclusions The results of utilizing L shaped silicon rubber graft combined with reposition of the mislocated nasal cartilages are better than the latter method only, especialy for the nasal tip. The procedure is easy to learn .The material silicon rubber graft is cheap and can be trimmed very conveniently. And it can also correct the saddle nose at the same time.
