Operations for microforms of cleft lip.
Microform cleft lip is a mild expression of cleft lip and may be difficult to repair. Its severity may be defined by the degree of downward depression of the nostril rim, skin striae of the upper lip, notching of Cupid's bow, and deformity of the vermilion border. Variation in surgical repair is reported for each type of microform cleft lip.
