Abstract

The mobilization of two muco-chondrocutaneous flaps obtained by two parallel incisions along the nasal dorsum may elevate and elongate the columella in patients with bilateral cleft lips. The nose tip is also modulated by a triangular tissue resection right above the alar segment in both sides. Thirty-four patients have been treated with this method.
