CLEFT LIP NOSE DEFORMITY


 Cleft of the lip is a common condition affecting many individuals. This can affect one or both sides. The primary surgical treatment for correction is carried out at 3 months of age. This (primary correction of the cleft lip) can be one of the most satisfying procedures. However, cleft of the lip is a complex problem which also affects the function and appearance of neighboring structures such as the nose, teeth, and bones. These may present as secondary deformities. 

What is cleft lip nose deformity? 
This refers to the deformity seen in patients affected by the cleft lip. This is characterized by slumping of the nose on the side affected by the cleft of the lip. 

What is done during cleft lip nose deformity correction?
Plastic surgery helps in correction of the abnormal shape and location of the affected cartilages. The surgery is carried out under general anesthesia (children) or local anesthesia with sedation (adults). The cartilages are reshaped and repositioned to give a better appearance. The externally visible scar is confined to the undersurface of the nose. The operation is carried out as a short-stay procedure. 

When is this corrective surgery undertaken? 
Cleft lip nose deformity correction is usually undertaken before the child enters school. But in many cases such affected individuals come as adults for correction. Rhinoplasty which involves modification of bones is undertaken after adolescence. 

What are the other deformities which can be simultaneously addressed during correction of the nose deformity?
These include:
  1. Revision of the scars of lips
  2. Treatment of minor fistula
  3. Other deformities of the lips

What are the benefits of undergoing secondary correction of the lip and nose deformity?
They include: 
  1. Improved harmony of the structures of the mid and lower face resulting in better appearance
  2. Improved self-esteem and body image
