This is either from an inherently weak upper lateral cartilage or a congenitally crooked dorsal septal margin that deviates to one side. Spreader grafts sutured into position. Several hor¬izontal mattress sutures secure the spreader grafts and up-per lateral cartilages. A needle of adequate size (such as a PS-2) facilitates engaging all structures (upper lateral carti¬lage-to-spreader graft-to-septum-to-spreader graft-to-upper lateral cartilage) in a single pass.
