    AbstractSecondary cleft lip-palate deformities frequently involve a combination of skeletal, cartilagenous, dental and muscular deformities. Correction of these deformities should be based on normalization of function by restoring normal anatomy as much as possible. Functional correction of the lip musculature is best done at the same time as surgical correction of the skeletal-dental deformities. In this article, we outline a fundamental technique for secondary lip-nose correction based on muscle reorientation and a concomitant Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy.
