This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of primary rhinoplasty using the Tajima technique for overcorrection, and found that patients with unilateral cleft lip nose deformity who underwent primary rhinoplasty with overcorrection had improved results without the need for intermediate rhinoplasty.
Background:No consensus exists regarding the timing or technique of rhinoplasty for correction of the unilateral cleft lip nose deformity, with few studies examining the long-term effects of a single technique. This study appraised the long-term outcomes of primary rhinoplasty using the Tajima technique for overcorrection in a cohort of patients with unilateral cleft lip nose deformity after attaining skeletal maturity. Methods:Consecutive nonsyndromic patients with unilateral cleft lip nose deformity (n = 103) who underwent primary rhinoplasty with overcorrection by a single surgeon between 2000 and 2005 were reviewed. Patients with unilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity who underwent primary rhinoplasty (but with no overcorrection) (n = 30) and noncleft individuals (n = 27) were recruited for comparison. Outcomes were assessed through FACE-Q scales evaluating satisfaction with appearance of nose and nostrils (two scales) and computer-based objective photogrammetric analysis of nasal symmetry (nostril height, nostril width, nostril area, alar height, and alar width parameters). Results:Significant differences (all P < 0.001) were observed between the Tajima and non-Tajima groups for all but one photogrammetric nasal parameter (nostril area), with the Tajima group demonstrating closer mean values to the noncleft group. The Tajima and noncleft groups demonstrated no significant difference (all P > 0.05) for scores of FACE-Q nose and nostrils scales. Conclusion:This study indicated that the patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty with overcorrection had improved results with no necessity for intermediate rhinoplasty, emphasizing that the procedure is an effective approach to correct the unilateral cleft nose deformity.
