Abstract
A turnover contralateral cephalic alar cartilage flap is suggested for the correction of cleft nose alar deformity. The cartilage flap from the normal side wraps around the deficient medial crus and acting as a pulley reposition and augments the affected alar cartilage. The satisfactory and long-lasting results obtained in our small series seem to justify this approach for improving cleft nasal deformities, and we think it should be available in our surgical armamentarium.
