What the rhinoplasty literature says on this paper's topics, cited line by line to PubMed.
Cleft, trauma and reconstruction
A cleft nose is a sequence spread across a childhood: a repair at three months, sometimes a second at five or six, and a definitive rhinoplasty once the face has finished growing.
History, education and training
