Advanced Reconstructive Rhinoplasty: A 27-Year Patient Journey Reconstructive plastic surgery is a lifelong commitment to a patient's well-being. A wonderful example of this recently occurred involving a patient our surgeon first operated on 27 years ago for a Left Unilateral Cleft Lip, Alveolus, and Palate. Now an adult, she returned to our hands for a definitive secondary rhinoplasty to correct a persistent cleft nasal deformity. At just 2 months post-operation, her results show: • Restored Facial Symmetry: Correcting the alar base asymmetry and structural collapse typical of cleft nose deformities. • Natural Definition: Rebuilding the nasal tip to blend harmoniously with her features. • Improved Structure: Enhancing both the structural balance and overall facial aesthetics, as clearly demonstrated in the upward worm's-eye view. Having patients return to us decades later is a testament to the enduring trust, legacy, and specialized surgical care provided at our practice. Jul 15, 2026 Call now
