Abstract

Abstract : Summary: Surgical management of unilateral cleft lip is challenging. Correction requires a comprehensive approach to ensure optimal aesthetic outcomes. Various techniques have been proposed for the repair of cleft lip. This article and video vignette highlight the senior author's (D.S.) preferred method for repair of a unilateral cleft lip using a modified inferior triangle technique, a Noordhoff triangular flap for vermillion augmentation, orbicularis oris chemodenervation to reduce tension at the repair site, and autologous fat grafting for lip sculpting.
