Sumario:Objective: to better reconstruct the nasal shape after cleft lip repair with 3D printing assisted autologous costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty, especially for patients with radix augmentation needs. Method: 20 patients with nasal deformity secondary to cleft lip repair and radix augmentation needs had received surgical treatment from July 2016 to November 2021. A total of 10 cases were treated with autologous costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty for nasal deformity after cleft lip repair, and 10 cases were treated with the help of 3D printing. According to the characteristics of nasal deformity, autologous costal cartilage was carved and implanted into the nose back. Results: 3D printing assisted autologous costal cartilage augmentation in the treatment of nasal deformity after cleft lip repair, the incision healed well, and there were no complications in the thoracic cartilage donor area. The shape of the nose is satisfactory, the height and shape of the nose tip and the size of both nostrils are mostly symmetrical, the nasal columella is elongated, the original nose tip is flat, the collapse of the nose wing is satisfactory, and the nose lip angle is close to normal. Conclusions: 3D printing assisted autologous costal cartilage augmentation is an ideal treatment for nasal deformity after cleft lip repair.
