Saddle nasal deformity.
Correction of the saddle nasal deformity requires generous elevation and mobilization of the overlying soft tissue, the restoration of skeletal support, and the provision of nasal mucosa lining ("the forgotten link"). For moderate to severe saddle deformities, calvarial bone grafts serve well to reconstruct the disrupted skeletal framework.
