    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To introduce the clinical application of the upper lip scar tissue flap in correcting secondary nasal deformities of unilateral cleft lip. METHODS: Two types of the upper lip scar tissue flap were developed in correcting nasal deformities with Millard's technique. RESULTS: The procedure was performed on 51 patients. All the scar tissue flaps survived completely. The deformities were better corrected than before. CONCLUSION: The scar tissue flap has adequate blood supply. This procedure is routinely combined with other commonly used techniques to correct secondary deformities of cleft lip. It is particularly applicable for repairing the nasal deformity when usable tissue is not enough.
