Septorhinoplasty is complex, and it becomes more complex in the treatment of clefts. Septorhinoplasty may be the "finishing touch" at the completion of care or could be a major reconstructive endeavor following an unfavorable course through childhood. Practices vary widely, and data to guide decisions are limited. Although presentations are often unique, patterns are apparent when considering the multiple axes that define development through to maturity. Recent insights have clarified erroneous dogma and redefined universal goals. Based upon those goals and contemporary rhinoplasty techniques, a comprehensive approach of component septorhinoplasty is described to optimize form and function.
