This is a case of macrostomia (lateral facial cleft) in a 1 year old baby girl from Siliguri. The parents brought the baby seeking the best surgical treatment for the correction of wide mouth and the asymmetric appearance of the baby without much visible scars on the face.
Surgical correction of macrostomia is challenging and more complex as it aims in restoring back the normal appearance while at the same time maintaining the normal functions like speech, blowing, etc.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji successfully corrected the macrostomia using vermillion return flap technique. Results are immediate and the parents feel very happy to see the negligible scar formation, following suture removal.
