What a great time visiting with this boy born with an incomplete cleft lip!
I want to give reassurance to families, for when the early scar can be a little tight leading to more asymmetry.
The intermediate photos are a few months after the first cleft lip surgery, and then the later ones are now over 3 years after that surgery.
The release, reorientation, and balancing of the muscle, are the most important factors in the long run, as the skin will continue to grow and adapt to the movement and support of the muscle underneath it.
These steps help the septum and columella grow more upright, and the white roll along Cupid’s bow stay transversely oriented instead of peaking upwards.

Case Details
Even wider clefts are able to be repaired in a single stage with our technique.
The skin markings are a hybrid of techniques based on Millard / Noordhoff / Chang Gung / Fisher principles.
Adequate muscle release and reorientation is crucial for that Goldilocks-level of lip rotation and balance.
