Cleft lip deformities often also involve the nose. Despite correction of the cleft lip and cleft nasal deformity at a young age, deformities may persist as the lip and nose change into adulthood. When an individual with a cleft lip and nasal deformity reaches skeletal maturity, a rhinoplasty may be needed to make the nose appear more normal. In Dr. Ellenbogen’s hands, the nose can be made to look as good as a normal nose in many cases.
