It is recommended to go to a plastic surgery hospital to check the degree. If there is scar contracture, you can consider a second operation. If there are no complications, the operation is meaningless.
Generally, mild cleft lip can obtain good curative effect through one-stage repair. However, for severe cleft lip, it is difficult to achieve the ideal effect by one operation, especially for children with bilateral cleft lip, which may require a second repair operation.
The secondary repair of cleft lip mainly includes the correction of orbicularis oris muscle deformity, human deformity, labial redness deformity, labial buccal groove deformity, nasal deformity and maxillary deformity. In the second-stage repair operation of cleft lip, it can be considered that the upper lip shape of patients with cleft lip correction or reconstruction is closer to normal and more stereoscopic. The repair of labial and buccal groove deformity can restore the shape of upper lip to normal shape, which is more in harmony with the proportion of face.
After the second repair operation of cleft lip, the effect of cleft lip repair should be achieved. The lips on both sides of the upper lip are highly symmetrical. The ratio of high and low lip widths is harmonious, and the lip width conforms to facial aesthetics; The natural anatomical structure of the upper lip, such as lip ridge, lip peak and ethnic fossa, should be preserved and reconstructed to the maximum extent. The shape of the lip peaks on both sides should be symmetrical and harmonious; The distance between the lips on both sides should be equal and symmetrical; The free edge of the lower lip of13 should be naturally relaxed and slightly arched; The upper alar and lip angle should be normal; Red lips should reach the complete state of four radians: upper edge, lower edge, front edge and high and low edge. Preservation or reconstruction of labial tubercle (lip bead); After operation, the upper lip tissue should be soft without obvious hard scar. With the above requirements, the secondary repair operation of cleft lip can be described as a success.
