Secondary Cleft Rhinoplasty in 1720 Patients: Are National Practices Consistent With Guidelines?

CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals that a large proportion of cleft rhinoplasties are performed in skeletally immature patients. Although patients undergoing rib grafting, nasal osteotomies, and a major septal component were older, these procedures are still performed in a large proportion of patients who are younger than expected.
