Abstract
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of autologous fat grafting in secondary cleft lip. Methods Grafting of autologous fat granules was applied to correct lip under-capacity. The technique was used in 40 patients with secondary cleft lip from June 2011 to December 2015. The ratios between the point of upper lip peak to vermilion height and to white lip height on the affected side were measured by Photoshop CS6. Results Satisfactory results were achieved with all 40 patients; the lip contour and morphology improved. The preoperative ratio was 0.417±0.190 and the postoperative ratio was 0.499±0.197, which increased average 26.02%, with statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Autologous fat grafting to correct lip under-capacity with secondary cleft lip is a safe, effective and micro-invasive method which can be sustained over a lengthy period. Key words: Lipotransfer; Autologous fat grafting; Lip; Secondary cleft lip
