Correction of secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity in adults using lower lateral cartilage repositioning, columellar strut, and onlay cartilage graft on the nasal tip with open rhinoplasty combined with reverse-U incision

In the archive as a landmark paper: the core sweep runs 2011–2026, and this one is here because the history of rhinoplasty rests on it · cited on tip onlay graft.
From the abstract
“A rhinoplasty technique involving lower lateral cartilage (LLC) repositioning and grafting of ear cartilage allows for nasal lengthening and nasal tip mobility. For better esthetic outcomes in patients with cleft lip nasal deformity (CLND), we combined cosmetic nasal tip plasty with standard techniques. We performed…”

Revision and secondary rhinoplasty
Between 5% and 15% of rhinoplasties are done again, and the published series say the second operation is a different problem from the first: the cartilage is gone, the skin is scarred and less able to survive, and the airway is usually part of the complaint.
Rib, ear and septal grafts
Modern rhinoplasty builds rather than removes, so the operation runs on cartilage: the septum first, then the ear, then the rib, and when none of those will do, a piece of donated rib from a tissue bank.
Nasal tip
Tip surgery is now a support problem rather than a sculpting problem: the septal extension graft holds projection and rotation where the columellar strut loses them (0.2% against 4.7% projection loss at one year), and the current series repair, reposition and reinforce the lower lateral cartilages instead of excising them.
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.
