Grade 2 binder’s syndrome Nose deformity in a 13 year old girl is quite different from Grade 4 Binders where Septum is not developed. Here are the key points in Management

1. Preserve the speheno-dorsal growth centre,

2. Correct the foreshortening of caudal septum by Septal extension graft

3. Osteotomies to narrow the dorsum

4. Tip augmentation by lateral crural steal and on–lay peck graft

5. Dorsal Augmentations with on-lay Concha

This way not only the deformity is improved, in future the growth can take normally and more skin cover is available should a revision Rhinoplasty be required at a later age
