Abstract
The authors have used a new technique in 5 cases with severe long lip deformity and drooping of the Cupid's bow, who all have undergone Tennison's triangular flap method for unilateral cleft lip at primary repair. We corrected this deformity by repositioning Tennison's triangular flap back into its original site and then obtained (1) effective shortening of a vertical lip length, (2) restoration of a symmetric Cupid's bow, (3) prevention of tight upper lip, (4) refinement of the transverse scar, and (5) low recurrence.
