Cleft lip, nose repair
The repair of nasal deformity of cleft lip and palate can be divided into two stages. The first is the repair of primary cleft lip deformity. Generally, most nasal deformities are repaired at the same time as cleft lip, so as to solve the problems of nostril size, nasal floor depression, alar collapse and so on. After the child's nose development is basically completed, the second stage of nasal deformity repair can be carried out after 14 years old, and the cartilage and bone structure of the nose can be reconstructed, and the normal supporting force can be restored from the bracket structure, thus restoring the normal shape of the nose. If there are conditions in China, it is best to repair nasal deformity in the second stage on the basis of alveolar cleft bone grafting. If it is a one-stage cleft lip repair, the appearance of nasal deformity is very ugly. A nasal deformity can be repaired before school, which can solve the appearance problem without affecting the child's psychological development.
