Frequently Asked Questions
What is cleft lip rhinoplasty?
Cleft lip rhinoplasty is a specialized nose surgery that corrects the nasal difference caused by a cleft lip, restoring symmetry to the nostrils, nasal tip, and septum while improving breathing.
At what age is cleft rhinoplasty performed?
Definitive cleft rhinoplasty is often performed in the teenage years after facial growth is largely complete, though intermediate procedures may be done earlier.
Why choose a reconstructive surgeon for cleft rhinoplasty?
Cleft nasal anatomy is complex. A surgeon with reconstructive and pediatric plastic surgery training, like Dr. Panossian, can address both the structural and aesthetic challenges these cases present.
