Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate
Preoperative frontal view of a 3-day-old patient with complete cleft lip, alveolus, and palate with marked nasal deformity. Frontal view of same patient at age 7. Primary lip/nose repair was performed at 3 months of age. Frontal view of patient at age 17 after secondary correction of the lip/nose and after orthodontic treatment. Lateral view of same patient at 17 years of age.

Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate
Frontal view of 5-month-old patient with complete unilateral cleft lip, alveolus, and palate with a severe nasal deformity on the right side. Postoperative frontal view 6 months after surgery using Dr. Salyer's technique. Preoperative sudmental vertex view shows marked asymmetry and distortion of the nose. Postoperative submental vertex shows symmetry of the alar base on both sides.

Secondary Unilateral Cleft Lip and Nose Repair
Preoperative frontal view of 3-year-old patient referred to us after poor primary lip/nose repair. The lip is short and contracted, and there is marked slumping of the alar cartilage on the right with marked asymmetry. Postoperative frontal view 5 years after surgery. There is marked improvement in the shape of the nose. Preoperative submental vertex view shows asymmetry of the nostrils and lack of nasal projection. Postoperative submental vertex view shows marked improvement in symmetry of the nose and alar bases.

Secondary Unilateral Cleft Lip/Nose
Preoperative frontal view of a 5-year-old child with secondary unilateral cleft-lip/nose deformity and asymmetry of the alar base. The nostrils are asymmetric and the nasal tip and alar on the right side are decompressed. Postoperative frontal view of same patient 2 years after correction of the lip and nose. Pre and postoperative submental vertex views.
