Abstract:
The preceding study (Smahel, 1987) showed that after the abolishment of osteoplasty and introduction of primary reposition of nasal septum base in the 1970's the nasal deviation and asymmetry of nasal wing length in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate had been reduced. The present study shows that this reduction continues after the introduction of total septum reposition. The deviation of septal base (columella) from the median plane and asymmetry in nostril position is reduced as well. The surgeon's experience however is the decisive factor determining the final shape of the nose.

Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
