Abstract

The mature bilateral cleft nasolabial deformity exhibits prolabial and vermilion deficiency, a broad depressed nasal tip, and short columella. Many strategies attempt to correct these stigmata, with varying degrees of success. The purpose of this communication is to describe a novel sequenced approach, staging an Abbe flap and rhinoplasty, with morphometric analysis of results. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:: Therapeutic, IV.
