Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Asian cleft rhinoplasty presents unique surgical challenges.
  • Existing techniques may not fully address the specific anatomical considerations in Asian populations.
  • A refined surgical approach is needed for optimal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the authors' experience with an open structural technique for Asian cleft rhinoplasty.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of a complete autologous approach.
  • To demonstrate the versatility and predictability of the described method.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an open approach to reconstruct malpositioned nasal cartilage.
  • Employed septocolumella and extender spreader grafts for nasal projection and lengthening.
  • Performed lateral crural steal and lateral crural strut graft (LCSG) for medial and lateral crus reconstruction.
  • Incorporated diced cartilage wrapped in deep temporal fascia for dorsal augmentation.
  • Performed modified Tajima reverse-U excision and alar base modifications as indicated.

Main Results:

  • 35 Asian patients (18 female, 17 male) underwent the procedure between 2010 and 2015.
  • Included 29 unilateral and 6 bilateral cleft cases with a mean follow-up of 23 months.
  • All patients reported high satisfaction with functional and aesthetic improvements.
  • Observed low complication and revision rates.

Conclusions:

  • The autologous open structural approach offers predictable and consistent excellent results in Asian cleft rhinoplasty.
  • This technique yields superior outcomes compared to previous methods used by the authors.
  • The described method provides a reliable solution for complex Asian cleft rhinoplasty cases.
