Before surgery

After surgery - for congenital cleft nasal deformity. This operation typically requires about 7 cartilage grafts to reconstruct the nose in a more functional and symmetric fashion. Over 90% of the time I can achieve this using cartilage and bone from within the nose, only, as opposed to using cartilage from the ear or rib.
