Concerning asymmetrical growth following repair of cleft lip. Preliminary Report.
The results of the measurements of upper lips repaired according to a modified Tennison-technique (which has been previously published (Bick 1961) are presented. Contrary to the measurements done at that time after Le-Mesurier-plasty (1949), the present results did not show asymmetry of the upper lip in any case. This is attributed to the fact that there is no tissue loss in using this modified incision line.
