What is Cleft Rhinoplasty?
Cleft rhinoplasty addresses nasal deformities caused by cleft lip or palate. These deformities can impact both nasal function and appearance. Contributing factors include abnormal cartilage development or previous cleft repairs. Studies show that nasal deformities are present in 30% to 50% of patients with cleft conditions.
