The main aim of this study was to assess nasal symmetry after morphofunctional septorhinoplasty, more specifically, symmetry of the alar base and nostrils, and nasal projection, in patients with unilateral and bilateral cleft nasal deformities. Secondary cleft rhinoplasty was performed using morphofunctional septorhinoplasty techniques in 150 patients with unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and nose deformities. Nasal changes were analysed by measuring nasal tip projection, nostril height, nostril width, alar base width, and nasal gap area preoperatively and postoperatively on standard submentovertex view 2-dimensional photographs.

Materials And Methods: The described comprehensive approach follows the rule of 5 R's: relieve, resect, reposition, restructure, and restrengthen. The extended septal graft serves as a columellar strut on the one hand and as a spreader graft on the other hand.
Background: To study the surgical outcome in various morphological variants of unilateral complete cleft lip in our high volume centre over a period of 4 years, using Morpho-Functional technique in all cases by indirect two dimensional photographic analysis.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 749 patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip with palate were included over a period of 4 years from January 2010 to December 2014. All Subjects underwent surgery before the age of 1 year with the follow-up two dimensional photographs taken at 4 years post-operatively.
