The author presents Bardach s technique for the residual unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. The key to a successful and stable correction of the nasal deformity is to lengthen the columella on the cleft side and to mobilize alar cartilage from its surrounding tissue, creating a symmetric shape and length. The major advantages of the technique are lengthening of the cleft columella and creation of a symmetric and well-projected nasal tip.
