ABSTRACTAim: The purpose of this article is to review modification and outcome of secondary rhinoplasty along with Abbι flap for correction of secondary bilateral cleft lip deformity. Materials and Methods: A total of thirteen patients of secondary bilateral cleft lip-nose deformity having tight upper lip, lack of acceptable philtral column, Cupid′s bow definition, irregular lip scars, and associated nasal deformity were selected. All the patients received Abbι flap and simultaneous nasal correction. All cases were treated during a period of three years. Mean patient age at the time of the operation was 21 years, and ranged from 16 to 27 years. The average follow-up period was three years. Results: Assessment of results was based on comparing preoperative and postoperative clinical photographs done by surgeon and patient relatives and patient satisfaction questionnaires. The columellar lengthening and upper lip vermillion correction achieved was satisfactory. There were no perioperative complications such as airway obstruction, bleeding, infection, wound disruption, or flap necrosis.

Background: Most primary repair of bilateral complete cleft lip does not show satisfying result due to several deformities caused by inappropriate use of the hypoplastic prolabial tissue, failure to advance the lateral lip elements to the midline for primary repair of the orbicularis, and scarring. The Abbe flap is the accepted procedure for the correction of severe secondary deformity of a bilateral cleft lip. By introducing an adequate amount of lip tissue, it relieves the tightness of the upper lip and also corrects the depressions of the tip of the nose. Symmetry between the two lip is also achieved Patient and Method: Three patients with tight lip deformity underwent this procedure. The Abbe flap, which was taken from the central portion of the lower lip vermilion, was designed to repair the vermilion tubercle and the Cupid’s bow. A tiny portion of skin was included to facilitate closure of the donor site. The pedicle was divided 3 weeks after operation. Results: Each patients showed a more natural contour of the vermilion tubercle and the Cupid’s bow. The scarring of the donor site was inconspicuous. Summary: The Abbe flap can be considered as a choice for revision of bilateral cleft lip deformity. The disadvantages of this flap include patient’s discomfort and the need for multiple procedures.
