OBJECTIVETo explore an ideal method for comprehensive correcting of the unilateral cleft lip nasal defomity.

METHODSThe operation includes replacement of the displaced tissue, excision of the deviated septum, and correction of the deviated septum and the deformity of the lower nose. The excised nasal septum was grafted on the alar base, the nasal columella and the nasal tip.

RESULTS32 patients were treated with this method from 1994 to 1999. Postoperative fellow-up for 1-3 years demonstrated satisfactory results.

CONCLUSIONThrough excision and grafting of the nasal septum, the deviated septum and the deformity of the lower nose are effectively corrected. Complete undermining and replacement of the displaced structure are the basis of correcting the cleft lip nasal deformity.

OBJECTIVETo summarize clinical experiences in fat particle injection auto-transplantation during the past ten years.

METHODSRetrospective analysis of 334 cases of fat particle injection auto-transplantation was done, and we suggested the correct method of liposuction and fat injection.

RESULTSIn this series, one patient (0.29%) had a complication, thirty one patients (9.38%) had lower survival of autogenous fat-transplantation.

CONCLUSIONIn order to improve the results of fat-grafting, we must adopt the correct method of liposuction and follow the right rules.
