The nasalis muscle is one of the key muscles not formed or inserted correctly with cleft lip and cleft palate deformity. [5] The head of the transverse part needs to be identified during reconstructive surgery so that it can be surgically sutured (connected to) the nasal septum. [2] [5] The origin at the maxilla may also be repositioned for ...
The dilator naris muscle (or alae nasi muscle) is a part of the nasalis muscle. It has an anterior and a posterior part. It has origins from the nasal notch of the maxilla and the major alar cartilage, and a single insertion near the margin of the nostril. It controls nostril width, including changes during breathing.
