The osteotomy for rhinoplasty is a useful method to make the nasal bony pyramid get narrow, correct the deviated nose and prevent the open roof deformity after hump nose resection. The osteotomy for rhinoplasty is divided medial osteotomy, lateral osteotomy and transverse osteotomy. If the osteotomy is well done, it produces very effective and esthetic results. However, the osteotomy has problems that precise operation is often impossible for the difficulty of the access and that the possibility of the complication is very high. We report our clinical experience about the osteotomy for rhinoplasty.

Deviated nose deformities have always been a surgical challenge, and it is essential to achieve both functional and esthetic improvements. Various techniques have evolved over time to correct deviated noses but no one method applies in all cases. Successful correction requires a complete understanding of the various surgical techniques and concepts, including the three-dimensional nasal structure and the time-related changes to surgically-treated noses.

Previous anatomic concepts in cleft lip nose deformity have following characteristics: 1. Obtuse angle between medial and lateral crus in affected alar cartilage; and 2, Cleft side alar cartilage is hypoplastic. The purpose of this study was to review the anatomy of alar cartilage in cleft lip nose deformity and to find out the effects of removal of intercartilagenous soft tissue on the effects of removal of intercartilagenous soft tissue on relocation of alar cartilage. There were 97 cleft lip nose corrections from Oct. 1996 to March When the affected alar cartilage was dissected, redundant intercartilagenous fibro-fatty tissue was found. After removing this redundant soft tissue, we found that the cleft side alar cartilage was better adjusted to the normal position. In addition, the plicavestibularis was more improved. Alar cartilage suture fixation was subsequently performed. Alar cartilage suture fixation was subsequently performed. After this procedure, we found that subsequently performed. After this procedure, we found that the affected side of alar cartilage was more normally positioned than before. The summary of the author's view on affected alar cartilage is as follows: 1. An acute angle between the medial and lateral crus was noted in affected alar cartilage; 2. Redundant intercartilagenous fibro-fatty tissue was present in cleft lip nose deformity;3.The terminal portion of the lateral crus of alar cartilage makes a plica vestibularis in the cleft side; 4. The position of the medial crus of alar cartilage was lower in the cleft side with the lateral crus was lower and cephalic in the cleft side; 5. The cleft side of alar cartilage is not hypoplastic.

PURPOSE: Although nasal fractures are often discussed as minor injuries but the incidence of post-traumatic nasal deformity remains high. For decrease the incidence of post-traumatic nasal deformity which require the guideline to optimize the management of acute nasal bone fracture. The aim of this study is analysis of post-traumatic nasal deformity according to Stranc classification. METHOD: We reviewed 310 patients with nasal bone fracture treated at our hospital from January of 2005 to December of 2006. RESULT: Post-traumatic complication were divided septal deviation, nasal bone deformity, temporary hyposmia and synechia. Nasal bone deformity include nasal bone deviation, hump, flat nose and minimal nasal bone irregularity. The incidence of total complication rate was 36.4%. The most common complication was nasal deformity(22.9%) followed by septal deviation(19.7%). The most common complication was septal deviation(20%) in frontal impact. The most common complication was nasal deformity(19.5%) in lateral impact. In frontal impact, the incidence of complication rate was plane II(68.8%) followed by plane I(29.9%) and plane III(16.7%). In lateral impact, the incidence of complication rate was plane II (78.8%) followed by plane III(61.5%) and plane I(42.7%). CONCLUSION: This result can be used to improve long- term results and to reduce the incidence of post-traumatic nasal deformity by predict complication of nasal bone fracture according to Stranc classification.

The simultaneous surgical correction of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity has become a more common surgical technique that has greatly changed conventional strategies for secondary nasal correction. Mulliken has been known as one of the earliest proponents for the synchronous repair of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity, and he emphasized the responsibility of the treating surgeon to evaluate nasolabial growth by comparing anthropometric measurements with age-matched normal patients. Good outcomes from this surgical method have been reported in clinical cases worldwide. Herein, we describe the management of two cases of bilateral cleft repair, following the principles and methods established by Mulliken. We also provide a relevant review of the literature.
