Unilateral Isolated Cleft Lip Repair

4/4/2021

Comments

 
Picture
This baby girl had been born with a unilateral isolated cleft lip deformity. This is the mildest form of cleft deformity, but the most difficult surgery to get best results. Her parents had been counseled at the time of her birth and referred to our hospital.

The nasal sill was addressed using a C-flap. It was then decided to do a three layer closure of her cleft lip deformity. The orbicularis oris, subcutaneous tissues and skin were reapproximated with extreme precision with the use of a surgical loupe. There was perfect recreation of lip anatomy.
​
The postoperative picture is at the 7th day after surgery. Her parents were extremely happy with the results of the surgery.
