Abstract
Objective To explore a new method to correct nostril-bottom deformities and whistle deformity of secondary deformities of bilateral complete cleft lip (BCCL). Methods Bilateral subdermal soft tissue c flaps and d flap were designed to repair secondary deformities of nostril-bottom and vermilion tubercle in patients with bilateral complete cleft lip (BCCL). Results The good healing was found in all the cases. No flap necrosis was noted. The result was satisfactory in the 23 patients that had been followed up more than 8 months; 5 were very satisfied with their results, whereas sixteen patients graded their results as good. Conclusions With bilateral subdermal soft tissue c flaps and d flap, nostril-bottom deformities and whistle deformities can be corrected with definite and good efficacy. Key words: Bilateral cleft lip; Surgical flap; Postoperative deformity of cleft lip; Orbicularis oris muscle
