This boy is seen after repair of his unilateral cleft lip.
The scar for this repair usually falls along the normal philtral column, making the scar less noticeable in conversation.
Slight asymmetries in the red part of the lip may be touched up as needed, including at the time of other procedures like the cleft palate or cleft rhinoplasty repair.

This boy is seen after repair of his bilateral cleft lip.
The lip from either side of the cleft is repaired in the midline, with attempt made to reconstruct a more normal appearance of the lip.
At the first surgery, some repair is performed on the nose as well to lengthen the columella and improve the appearance and function of the nasal passage.

This man has a severe underbite, making chewing impossible with most of his teeth. He also has a bone condition called Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia (distinct from osteogenesis imperfecta), that results in weaker bones. His history of many different fractures scared off multiple other surgeons from offering him jaw surgery.
We performed a 3-piece upper jaw advancement, and lower jaw set back. The surgery was meticulous and patient, with 3D printed guides and plates (which are stronger!), and so far he is doing well with good occlusion and recovery seen here at 2 weeks.

Cleft lip markings can be intimidating and time consuming at first approach.
Here is one look at my key marks and thought process as I visualize the entire surgery before making the first incision.
I use a Fisher-style anatomic subunit approach, with a cut-as-you-go repair and inset.

Patient Pro Tip:
Taping after rhinoplasty helps with reducing swelling and controlling your final result.
The tape can leave your skin a little tacky with adhesive, so a two-step cleansing with an oil-based cleanser, then a water-based one, keeps your skin looking and feeling great!
Patience can be hard, especially with secondary (or tertiary) rhinoplasty. But we’ll do everything we can to support you all the way to the finish line!

Secondary nasal reconstruction after old trauma or rhinoplasty surgery falls into that overlap of 1) what I enjoy doing, and 2) where we get consistently satisfying results.
This patient had a previous trauma with reduction of the fractures done appropriately after her injury.
Unfortunately, over time the deviation and airway collapse continually worsened.
Open approach, structural rhinoplasty was required to build back up her framework, including extended spreader grafts that replaced her dorsal nasal bone entirely on one side where it was badly deformed.
The swelling has begun to come down at 1 month, and experience has shown that this continues to improve quite a bit over 12-18 months, and even beyond.

"I'm actually breathing on both sides now. It's incredible to be able to do that.
"The amount of symmetry you were able to achieve really impressed me."
Function, symmetry, and balance.
I'm thankful that we are able to perform Cleft Rhinoplasty for a full range of patients, as part of our initial NAM and primary lip repair, through to adulthood.
And yes! We do work with insurance companies as these surgeries are definitely medically necessary! High-level rhinoplasty care shouldn't be limited to those who can pay cash for the surgery!

"For the first time I feel like I look like somebody in my family. I feel like I look like my sister... and I never felt that before. So yeah, it's a big difference!"
For us, it doesn't get any better than this!
Everybody carries their own set of pressure points, no matter how beautiful or how successful they are for others looking in.
For some, surgery won't ease those pressures, and is not worth it -- the risks, the costs, the tangible difference it would make for them.
We actually try our best to help identify and guide those people away from surgery.
(I've been told I'm a much better doctor than a salesman!)
For others, the impact can be tremendous.
We're grateful to have this chance to help others with the training and experience the whole team brings to the table, and are thankful for the people who entrust themselves to our care!

The timing and techniques used for our patients with clefts are tailored to each patient.
Here, the upper jaw required greater than 10mm of advancement to correct his occlusion.
Thus, we performed a Le Fort 1 internal distraction: the maxilla was mobilized, and hardware placed to gradually bring the bone and teeth forward 0.5mm at a time.
This incremental movement stretches the scar tissue, blood vessels, and nerves, giving them a chance to catch up a little bit every day and adapt. Otherwise, the advancement in a single surgery can be limited, and the maxilla is at risk of collapsing back.
Once the new bone solidifies, we return to retrieve the hardware and double-check stability of the new bone.
Here, he had continued difficulty breathing through his nose, and desired improved symmetry and contour.
Given his ongoing nasal obstruction — a closed septorhinoplasty was performed at the same time as the hardware removal.
MTF rib cartilage was used as a dorsal onlay graft, cantilevered with a septal extension graft. Tip grafts and diced cartilage helped provide some further tip definition and contour.
He is healing wonderfully at one month, with the swelling already much improved.

“I’m actually breathing on both sides now. It’s incredible to be able to do that.
“The amount of symmetry on both sides that you were able to achieve really impressed me.
“I’m very, very happy with the results.”
Cleft rhinoplasty for adults – one of the tougher surgeries we do, but also one of the most rewarding.
Here, a previous low strip of cartilage had been removed, yet he still had problems breathing.
The bony septum required resection further back. Towards the front, vertical excess and deviation of the cartilage required septal resection and reset to the midline.
Cartilage grafts included asymmetric spreader, a caudal septal extension, columellar strut, alar rim, and stacked alar base grafts. This was from a combination of native septal cartilage, and rib cartilage.
Notably, the lateral nasal sidewall was also advanced in V-Y fashion to redistribute scar tissue, and advance the lateral crus of the LLC.

Orthognathic surgery (aka “jaw surgery”) involves the repositioning of the upper and/or lower jaw to correct a number of problems.
Commonly we perform this surgery for our patients with a history of a cleft. Growth of the upper jaw may not keep up with the lower jaw. The teeth then do not line up, and normal chewing is affected.
We also perform this surgery for patients with sleep apnea, or other imbalances of the jaws including overbites, underbites, open bites, and cants (like with hemifacial microsomia).

This patient has a history of Nager syndrome, with severe underdevelopment of her lower jaw.
The small size of her mandible has required her to have a tracheostomy her entire life. She has had multiple jaw distractions, where the mandible has been broken and gradually lengthened.
The combination of her condition and her surgeries had left her with ankylosed, or totally frozen and immobile, TMJ’s on both sides.
We performed custom TMJ replacements – similar to a knee or hip replacement – with the condyles replaced with titanium heads, and a titanium and plastic joint fossa custom made to fit at the base of her skull.
She is seen here at 6 weeks after her surgery, with her range of motion the best it has ever been. She continues to improve every week as she progresses with her physical therapy.
She has been able and wanting to talk more, too, and we look forward to repairing her cleft palate (which has never been accessible). One day we may be able to remove her trach as well!

The path to a new smile sometimes comes through our office. For jaw surgery.
Braces alone sometimes aren’t enough to get a smile just right.
If the upper and lower dental arches are too far apart, or the facial harmony would be improved, orthognathic surgery may be recommended.
The main goals are often to align the upper and lower teeth, to help with chewing food completely and safely, and to improve facial balance from the upper, middle, and lower face.
Here, mandible-only surgery with a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy was done to correct a class II malocclusion.

The smile says it all! Jaw surgery is used in cases where the upper and lower jaws are too misaligned to correct with braces alone.
Functional issues include difficulty with fully chewing and then choking on food, affected speech, and sleep apnea.
Long term, there may be problems with the TMJ, and supraeruption or loss of teeth and bone thickness. Obstructed breathing can cause a wide range of negative health effects, increasing the risk of obesity, diabetes, stroke, heart attacks, and more.
Thankfully we have worked for decades to get the surgery included under insurance (when meeting insurance criteria), with some of our most reliable partners right now Aetna and United Healthcare.
The recovery is significant, but so are the benefits!

This patient had a cleft palate and Class III malocclusion, meaning her upper jaw growth had not kept pace with the lower jaw. i.e., the maxilla was further back than the mandible.
This difference in bite causes problems with speech and chewing, and can increase the wear and tear on teeth and the TMJ’s.
Here, a custom-planned Lefort 1 advancement and chin advancement (genioplasty) corrected her malocclusion, while also giving a little bit more chin definition without going through the recovery and risks of a BSSO for the mandible.

Jaw surgery is a big surgery and a big recovery, but can be worth it because it makes such a big difference.
At some point, if the upper and lower roots are just too far apart, no amount of orthodontics will allow the teeth to line up.
That difference leads to problems chewing, breathing, and speaking. Some people also are more self-conscious of their smile.
Here, a four-piece Lefort 1 was performed, to correct a difference in the transverse dimension, in addition to the anterior-posterior direction.
He is seen here at 6 weeks, well on the road to recovery!

The smile says it all!
About 1 in 3 patients with cleft lip and palate benefit from jaw surgery. Aligning the upper and lower teeth helps people fully chew their food, and reduces wear and tear on the TMJ's.
We also consider facial balance and harmony when planning the surgery and final outcome.
Jaw surgery can often be done in a single surgery, sometimes involving just the upper jaw, and sometimes with the lower jaw as well.
Here, the amount of advancement was well over 10mm, which is the point at which we usually move towards distraction over a single surgery.
Distraction involves cutting the bone and freeing up scar tissue, but then gradually moving from the starting position by 1mm per day.
New bone is deposited in the space made as the upper jaw moves forward. The surrounding blood vessels, lining, and old scar tissue all expand and accommodate the new bony position.
We usually keep the hardware in place (much more comfortably after finishing advancement!) for 3 months while the new bone hardens.
At that point, minor adjustments can be made as needed with additional movement or augmentation, or just removal of the hardware.
Here, we performed some fat grafting to the upper lip, expecting about half of the fat to reabsorb and half to stay long term.
He is seen here at about a month after that surgery -- we look forward to sharing more photos as all the swelling comes down!

What a pleasure taking care of our patients who need jaw surgery.
It can be a tough surgery and tougher recovery, but the benefits to breathing, chewing, and facial balance can be tremendous.
This man worked through the worst of it - the months of prep work, swelling, drainage, difficulty sleeping, and more - with superb care and composure.
In this case, additional bone grafting to the upper cheeks helped improve lower eyelid support and balance, and augmented the bony healing and stability after the osteotomy.
We look forward to watch him continue on to greater things!

This young man has a history of a repaired bilateral cleft lip and palate, and had difficulty chewing because his upper and lower teeth did not naturally come together.
The upper jaw often does not grow as much as the lower jaw, or may grow canted, in our patients born with a cleft.
Not every patient with a cleft will need this surgery, but it is one we perform routinely given the number of cleft and non-cleft craniofacial patients we see.
We usually wait until patients are fully skeletally mature before doing this surgery, to minimize the risk of needing to do any future surgeries.
Occasionally, the difference in the upper and lower jaw is so severe that we do perform distraction surgery prior to full maturity, knowing that we may need another surgery in the future.
He is seen here at 6 weeks after his operation, with his splint out and smile ready to show off!

This handsome young man has a history of a unilateral cleft lip and palate.
He is seen here 7 months after jaw surgery (maxillary advancement, mandibular setback, and chin advancement), and 1 month after rhinoplasty.
His occlusion (or how his teeth fit together) is now centered and leveled, with the teeth now able to chew optimally. This will help with TMJ and dental health long-term.
The bony work also helped to balance his facial profile, giving his upper lip and chin more support.
The rhinoplasty improved his breathing by straightening the septum and supporting his nasal passages, like having a Breathe-Right strip on the inside of his nose.
His lip scar will also continue to improve after a re-repair and re-orientation of the muscle of his lip.

Hemifacial/craniofacial microsomia includes a wide spectrum of severity and conditions, with many names including Goldenhar syndrome and oculo-auriculo-verterbral spectrum.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some children are born with a slightly smaller lower jaw or ear. Other children may have severe asymmetry affecting multiple areas including the eye, ear, cheek, upper and lower jaw, and nerve function. Other organ systems may also be affected, including the heart, kidneys, spine, and arms/hands, and need to be evaluated as well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As each and every child is unique, their treatment plan must also be tailored to their needs. The goals are always to offer the best chance at a happy and healthy life, while minimizing the number of surgeries and the risks involved.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For this gentleman, the occlusion of his teeth was severely slanted, with TMJ pain and popping.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To correct this, we performed upper and lower jaw surgery with TMJ replacement at the same time. We waited to do this until he reached skeletal maturity and had a long enough break from contact sports to heal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After the first few months of recovery, his jaw is free of popping and pain, and his symmetry is improved. Further procedures like fat grafting may be offered to further fine tune any asymmetry if desired.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you can see, we love our patients, especially ones we have cared for since they were little!
