Cleft Rhinoplasty | Transformative Care for Cleft Lip and Nose Deformities
We acknowledge the profound impact that cleft lip and palate conditions can have on both looks and quality of life. Our professional and expert team specializes in cleft rhinoplasty, a sophisticated procedure planned to correct nasal deformities related to cleft and palate, restoring symmetry, function, and confidence. With a patient-centric approach and cutting-edge techniques, Saraswat Hospital is committed to delivering extraordinary results for individuals seeking extensive cleft care.
What is Cleft Rhinoplasty?
Cleft rhinoplasty is a specialized form of nasal treatment aimed at addressing the unique nasal deformities that often accompany the cleft lip and palate condition. These deformities can comprise an asymmetrical nasal tip, a deviated columella, a flattened alar dome, or impaired nasal breathing. Unlike standard rhinoplasty, cleft rhinoplasty needs a deep understanding of the complicated interplay between the nasal structures and the facial skeleton, making it one of the most challenging yet pleasing procedures in reconstructive and aesthetic treatment.
Why Choose Cleft Rhinoplasty?
Individuals born with cleft lip and palate often face nasal irregularities that persist even after initial repairs. These may include:
- Asymmetric Nasal Tip: Caused by uneven cartilage development on the cleft side.
- Flattened or Displaced Alar Base: Leading to an unbalanced appearance.
- Columellar Deviation: Shifting the nasal base toward the non-cleft side.
- Breathing Difficulties: Resulting from structural abnormalities or scarring.
Cleft rhinoplasty addresses these concerns by:
- Creating lasting symmetry and definition in the nasal tip and base.
- Relieve nasal obstruction for improved breathing.
- Correcting scarring or webbing from previous surgeries.
- Enhancing overall facial aesthetics to boost self-esteem.

Cleft rhinoplasty demands accuracy, precision, and expertise.

State-of-the-Art Facilities
Equipped with advanced technology, Saraswat Hospital offers a safe and comfortable environment for complicated treatments like cleft rhinoplasty. Our operating room adheres to the standards of hygiene and safety, giving you peace of mind throughout the journey of the procedure.
Personalized Treatment Plans
No two cases are always alike, therefore, we begin with a thorough evaluation of your nasal anatomy and facial structure, often using preoperative imaging and measurement to guide our approach to the procedure. Whether you require primary rhinoplasty, secondary correction, or combined procedures like maxillary advancement, we customize your treatment for maximum outcome.
Comprehensive Cleft Care
At Saraswat Hospital, we collaborate with a multidisciplinary team—including oral surgeons, orthodontists, and speech therapists—to address all aspects of cleft lip and palate management. This integrated approach ensures that your rhinoplasty aligns with broader treatment goals, such as jaw correction or speech improvement.
The Cleft Rhinoplasty Procedure
Step 1: Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with our expert surgeons. Our surgeons will assess your nasal function and aesthetics, discuss your goals, and explain the procedure in depth. For patients with maxillary hypoplasia (underdeveloped upper jaw), we may recommend additional procedures like LeFort I osteotomy before rhinoplasty.
Step 2: Surgical Planning
Using advanced tools like Gunter diagrams and preoperative photographs, we map out the surgery to address specific deformities—such as a short columella, wide alar base, or under-projected nasal tip. This meticulous planning ensures precision and symmetry.
Step 3: The Surgery
Performed under general anesthesia, cleft rhinoplasty typically involves:
- Repositioning or reshaping the lower lateral cartilage for a defined nasal tip.
- Correcting the alar base and columella for balanced proportions.
- Grafting cartilage (if needed) to enhance projection or support.
- Addressing internal nasal structures to improve breathing.
The procedure can take 2-4 hours, depending on complexity, and is tailored to your unique anatomy.
Step 4: Recovery and Follow-Up
Post-surgery, you’ll receive detailed care instructions from our doctors to promote healing. Swelling and bruising subside within a few weeks, with final results becoming apparent over several months. Our team provides ongoing support to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting satisfaction.
Who is a Good Candidate for Cleft Rhinoplasty?
Cleft rhinoplasty is suitable for:
- Children undergoing primary repair (typically after initial lip and palate surgeries).
- Adolescents or adults seeking secondary correction after earlier interventions.
- Individuals with functional issues like nasal obstruction or aesthetic concerns like asymmetry.
The ideal timing depends on factors like facial growth, previous surgeries, and overall health. Our surgeons will guide you on the best approach during your consultation.
