The use of two V-flaps for secondary correction of the cleft lip nose.
Our new method for correction of the cleft lip nose with moderate deformity consists of shifting a V-shaped flap of alar cartilage and nostril lining medially at the tip of the nose, and shifting the alar base, as another V-flap, medially to the base of the columella. The latter creates a nostril sill.
