A rhinoplasty is usually performed around the age of 18. In cases of unilateral schisis, the nose is often very crooked on both the inside and outside. In cases of bilateral schisis, the problem is generally that the nose is very flat. If desired, the lip scar can be improved as well. By waiting for the patient to reach adulthood before operating, the patient can decide on their own whether or not to go through with this chiefly aesthetic operation. If a root implant needs to be placed for the lateral incisor, this can be done at the same time.
