What is Cleft Lip Rhinoplasty?
Cleft rhinoplasty, or nasal reshaping surgery, is 
performed on patients whose cleft lip and palate 
have resulted in an unnatural appearance of the 
nose.
Finding a physician with experience performing cleft 
rhinoplasty is crucial since it is far more complicated 
than conventional rhinoplasty.
Anatomy of the cleft lip and nose
The anatomy of the cleft lip and nose differs significantly from that of a normal lip and nose due 
to the incomplete fusion of the facial tissues during fetal development.
In a cleft lip, the upper lip is separated into two parts, creating a gap or "cleft" in the middle. 
This can range from a small notch to a large gap that extends into the nose. The severity of the 
cleft can also affect the position and shape of the nose, which may be deviated or 
asymmetrical.
The cleft also affects the underlying bone and cartilage structures of the nose, which can be 
displaced or malformed. The nasal septum, which divides the nose into two air passages, may 
be deviated or absent, leading to breathing difficulties.
Additionally, the muscles around the cleft lip and nose may be weakened or absent, which can 
affect facial movements and expressions.
Overall, the anatomy of the cleft lip and nose is complex and requires careful evaluation and 
planning before undergoing cleft lip rhinoplasty surgery.
What are the Surgical Techniques for Cleft Lip?
The most common type of cleft lip repair is a rotation 
advancement repair. 
The plastic surgeon will make an incision on each side 
of the cleft from the lip to the nostril. 
The two sides of the lip are then sutured together, 
using tissue from the area to rearrange and close the 
lip as needed.
What are the Timings of Cleft Lip Surgery?
Lip repair surgery is usually done when your baby is 
around 3 months old. 
Your baby will be given a general anesthetic (where 
they're unconscious) and the cleft lip will be repaired 
and closed with stitches. The operation usually takes 1 
to 2 hours.
What is the aftercare for cleft Lip Surgery?
You would need to make an effort to maintain a spotless and crust-free 
site. 
It is acceptable to use a washcloth to gently wipe the area around the 
nostrils to remove any crusts or dried blood, but no special cleaning is 
required. 
Before talking about scar care at the initial postoperative consultation, 
nothing should be applied to the lip.
