To correct the secondary cleft lip nose deformity in Oriental patients, many alar cartilage mobilization and suspension techniques have been developed. However, these techniques have critical limitations. One of the limitations is the suspension vector, and another is suspension power. The suspension vector is from inferior to superior and from the deformed alar cartilage to the normal alar cartilage. Thus, the vector is not suitable for normal nasal tip projection. The suspension power is not satisfactory because Oriental people have underdeveloped, thin alar cartilages and thick skin. So, the suspended, deformed alar cartilage may relapse and pull the normal alar cartilage to the deformed side. To overcome these limitations, the authors use the cantilever calvarial bone graft for tip projection; it also serves as a strong, rigid framework for cartilage and soft-tissue suspension. Using these techniques, the authors can create normal nasal tip projection and a normal looking nasal aperture.
