Binder`s syndrome(maxillonasal dysplasia) is a disorder characterized by midface hypoplasia, flattened nose, convex upper lip, broad philtrum, crescent-shaped nostrils, acute nasolabial angle, absent anterior nasal spine and Class III malocclusion. Three defects(short maxilla, perialar flattening, and the hypoplastic nose) should be considered for appropriate correction method. A 25 years old man visited for correction of saddle nose deformity. The authors designed simple method for correction by using a silicone rubber and porous high density polyethylene sheet, Medpor(R), for nasal dorsal augmentation and the result was excellent. The most important part of Binder`s syndrome correction seemed to be the correctioning the hypoplastic nose and it was highly effective only by simple correction of nasal augmentation with implants.
