Alar Base Flap and Suspending Suture: A Strategy to Restore Symmetry to the Nasal Alar Contour in Primary Cleft‐Lip Rhinoplasty

Objective: Patients presenting with cleft‐lip deformity usually present with a characteristic nasal deformity. We describe the mechanism and contribution of different surgical techniques to restore alar symmetry in primary cleft‐lip rhinoplasty.
