On table, after working to straighten a crooked nose.

Perfectly straight, smooth, and symmetric features of the face, breasts, and body, are very rare in nature, and can never be the expectation after any plastic surgery.

I had a surgeon tell me once he operates with a scalpel, not a magic wand. (Though how great would it be to just flick the wrist like Harry Potter and say, "Nasus Reparo!")

What you can expect, though, is a thoughtful, customized treatment plan based on your goals and your anatomy.

Breathe better, live more confidently, and hopefully we get to help take one worry off of your plate.

Do I need to repair a microform or incomplete cleft lip?

Not necessarily, but there are some pros and cons to doing surgery earlier.

Pros:
- no memory of the surgery for the child
- easier to control the environment, reducing the chances of a fall or accidental injury while healing
- proven safety with decades of experience at this timing
- preventing or reducing future problems like a deviated septum, and asymmetries of the lip and nose, so that any future surgeries have the best long-term outcome

Cons:
- everybody has asymmetries and differences, and every person will have to learn to grow into their differences anyways.
- the scar can be larger than the cleft, and there is always a small but real risk of having some kind of complication, like infection, bleeding, or a keloid scar.
- tiny, but also real risk of having a problem with a respiratory virus or other illness. The problem (like having a febrile seizure) may not even be caused by the surgery or anesthesia, but may cause guilt or suspicion just because of the timing close to the surgery.

All of these things are part of the discussion with your cleft team when talking about microform cleft lip repairs, and whether such a personal decision is the right one for your family.

On-table cleft rhinoplasty results.

Goals included better breathing, straighter nose, and lower dorsum.

The surgery is a remodeling, working with the skin, cartilage, mucosa, and bone already present.

We can almost always make some aspects better, but almost never achieve someone’s perfect, dream nose. (Call me a pessimist, but I’d rather under promise and over deliver.)

And that’s ok - all of us carry around imperfections of all kinds. The challenge for everybody is to find that peace that comes with doing our best, with the gifts we are given, in the time we are blessed with.

Do I need to tape my nose after rhinoplasty?

Yes!

Surgery causes swelling, as your body begins to heal itself.

If the middle and top part of your nose are involved, the swelling can cause the bone or cartilage to shift or pull.

The swelling can include fibrin and collagen. If left in place, these natural parts of healing can leave a thicker or irregular contour.

The swelling also makes it harder for good circulation, with any old bruising or breakdown bogging in place, and fresh building blocks getting stuck at the door trying to get in.

Just like wrapping a knee or ankle when swollen, the tape actually can feel good to wear.

After the first few weeks, most people transition to wearing tape at night or when particularly active.

β€œBe kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” - Dalai Lama

Happy Kindness Day 2025.

As our stress levels rise into the busy holiday season, it’s empowering to remember that after what somebody says or does to us β€” and before our own response β€” there is a space. It’s usually just a split second, but in that space we have the freedom to choose a kinder response.

You can accept the negativity, or you can reverse Uno with kindness. Through our choices, we can maintain our dignity and humanity even in the worst of circumstances.

(Quiet recommendation for Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, which deserves its own post from me.)

Do I do closed, preservation rhinoplasty?

Yes, when it makes sense.

Some of our more complex, cleft rhinoplasty surgeries are best served open, with complete release and reconstruction of all support elements of the nose.

Here, we focused a fair amount of work internally for a deviated septum and nasal obstruction.

The dorsum was brought down with osteotomies, conservative rasping, and an additional high septal strip.

The tip of the nose was left entirely untouched per patient’s request, with access all posterior/superior to the lower lateral cartilages.

Recovery will be quicker with less disruption of native anatomy, but swelling and bruising is always expected.

What if I told you a septoplasty doesn't always help your breathing, especially in the long run?

Not all septoplasties are done the same way.

The septum is a sandwich with two layers of mucosa surrounding a middle layer of cartilage and bone.

In some cases, the mucosa is opened, a window of the deviated cartilage is removed, and then the mucosa is repaired.

This by itself can definitely remove areas of blockage because of the deviated septum, and significantly improve breathing.

However, over time, I have seen the middle part of the nose gradually collapse, as the supportive cartilage beneath it has been removed, like having the foundation emptied out underneath a house.

This collapse results in a "saddle nose", and it can be especially true with people with baseline softer/thinner cartilage, like many people of Asian, African American, and Hispanic descent.

This closes down the airway, causing significant obstruction because of the collapsed roof of the nose.

The risk of a saddle nose can be minimized with additional maneuvers at the first surgery, like keeping a strong L strut, and including spreader grafts to strengthen the remaining septum.

The deformity and collapse can be improved like for this person, usually with a combination of cartilage grafts, just like adding new support beams to the collapsed home to support the roof and walls.

A new blockage in breathing after an old septoplasty might just be allergies, but it might also be due to gradual collapse.

More information is on our website, detailing the risks and benefits of secondary nasal reconstruction after a septoplasty. Come on in for a consultation for a customized treatment plan for you!

6 weeks after jaw surgery for this great patient with a history of Marshall syndrome.

One piece of this syndrome is a history of cleft palate and midface hypoplasia that then leads to Class III malocclusion, aka an underbite.

Custom planning and hardware helped us line up his teeth for him to be able to chew food, to speak normally, and to show off his big smile after all the orthodontic work that often goes on for many years.

His swelling will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months. We look forward to those braces coming off and hopefully taking a break from doctors for a long while!

Well done to and !

Each and every publication is an achievement to celebrate.

Mayme - you came in not knowing a single thing about GDD, and through your diligence you became one of the world’s experts about this rare condition (very much distinct from osteogenesis imperfecta!).

Great job seeing this to publication, thanks for teaching me, and we look forward to following your success at medical school and into your career!

Thanks as well to our patients and families, who sometimes come to us with more knowledge than we have about their unique conditions and personal situations, and give us the grace and tools to catch up to speed to best care for them.

What is Pierre Robin Sequence/Syndrome?

When the mandible is small and set too far back (microretrognathic),
--> the tongue falls back into the airway (glossoptosis),
--> and the airway is obstructed by the tongue.

The tongue can sometimes also be in the way of the palate as it closes, so a cleft palate may be present as well.

The treatment options include:
1) positioning on the baby's stomach to let the tongue fall forward,
2) an oral airway plate to keep the tongue from falling back,
3) tongue-lip adhesion to pull the tongue forward,
4) jaw distraction to carry the tongue forward as the mandible is pushed forward,
5) nasopharyngeal airway or tracheostomy to bypass the obstruction.

Here, distraction was done when other options had not done enough.

3D guides helped us to minimize risks to the tooth buds and inferior alveolar nerve.

After just a few days, he was able to be off of his home CPAP, and he has started catching back up with his growth and milestones.
