| description | Objective: To examine morphological changes of the lip and nose during resting and lip protrusion in patients with unilateral cleft lip.
Methods: A total of 41 patients with unilateral cleft lip who underwent primary lip repair were included in the study population. The distortion of the lip and nose was measured and evaluated using photographs of the preoperative and postoperative resting lips and the postoperative protruding lips.
Results: The position of the labial commissure on the affected side was cranially deviated before lip repair, and the deviation remained after surgery. The degree of cranial deviation was increased by lip protrusion. The position of the alar base on the affected side was caudally deviated before lip repair and improved after surgery; however, it was displaced cranially by lip protrusion. Horizontal displacement of the lip and nose was improved after surgery, and there was no change during lip protrusion.
Conclusions: The characteristic facial distortion in patients with unilateral cleft lip were confirmed. Patients with cleft lip had distortions in the labial commissure and the nose. One of the important future challenges in cleft lip treatment is to focus on changes caused by muscle movement and provide natural and symmetrical facial expressions. |
