Abstract
This report describes a recessively inherited frontonasal malformation termed "frontorhiny" in recent literature. The authors developed a modified open rhinoplasty incision for correction of a broad, swollen columella due to frontorhiny. The clover-shaped flap was composed of a central V–Y advancement flap and bilateral folding flaps. This report relates the case of an 8-year-old girl with a broad columella and poor nasal tip development treated by a clover-shaped flap with dorsal onlay augmentation using autologous rib cartilage. This clover-shaped flap technique may be useful not only in frontorhiny cases but also in other cases of a short and broad columella.
