title: [Correction of secondary lip whistle deformities and nasal base depression after bilateral cleft lip repair with lip subdermal soft tissue flap].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore a new method to correct secondary lip whistle deformities and nasal base depression after bilateral complete cleft lip (BCCL) repair with lip subdermal soft tissue flap.
  
  
  METHODS
  Bilateral subdermal soft tissue "C" flaps and "lambda" flap were designed to repair secondary deformities of nasal base and reconstruct vermilion tubercle in patients after BCCL repair.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Good results were achieved in all the patients with primary healing. No flap necrosis happened. The result was satisfactory.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With bilateral subdermal soft tissue "C" flaps and " lambda" flap, nasal base depression deformities and lip whistle deformities can be corrected. It is an ideal method for correction of deformities after BCCL repair.
