Abstract

Bilateral cleft lip often has nasal deformities of various degrees. It is not enough to elongate the nasal columella for such deformities. Based on the thoughts that secondary deformities of the nose and lip should be treated as a whole, the authors introduced a new technique, in which five aspects of the deformities were considered and treated at the same time. Thirteen patients have undergone surgical correction with satisfactory results.
