34 PHI IT RUM CONTOURING AND CUPIDS BOW CONSTRUCTION JYII OPERATED LIPS WITH BILATERAL CLEFT HANG LIKE CURTAIN WITHOUT ANIMATION PHILTRUM DIMPLE OR CUPIDS BOW THIS CON DITION IS EASILY UNDERSTOOD AS THERE IS NO MUSCLE IN THE PROLABIUM AND THERE IS NO RESIDUAL OF THE NORMAL CUPIDS BOW OR DIMPLE IN THE BILATERAL CLEFT DEFORMITY IF THE VERTICAL LENGTH OF THE LIP IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS THE PROBLEMS OF THE CUPIDS BOW AND PHILTRUM DIMPLE BECOME PRIORITIES IN FACT IF THERE IS EVER TO BE BOW AND DIMPLEAND LIP WITHOUT THEM IS UNNATURALTHEY MUST BE HANDMADE IF CORRECTLY DESIGNED CUPIDS BOW AND DIMPLE CAN BE CREATED DURING THE PRIMARY SURGERY IF THEY WERE NOT THEN SECONDARY BOW AND DIMPLE FORMATION IS NECESSARY THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS OF ACHIEVING THIS GOAL DIMPLE MAKING EVEN WHEN THE BILATERAL SCARS HAVE BEEN PLACED STRATEGICALLY IN THE PHILTRUM COLUMN POSITIONS THE LIP STILL LOOKS UNNATURAL WITHOUT PHILTRUM HOLLOW FLANKED BY EMINENCES GOUGING PHITRUM GERALD OCONNOR AND MAR MCGREGOR OF ST FRANCIS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SAN FRANCISCO NOTED IN 1958 OBVIOUS ANATOMICAL DIFFERENCES THAT IMMEDIATELY SINGLE OUT THE OPERATED CLEFT LIP FROM THE NORMAL ARE THE ABSENCE OR LACK OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORMAL PHILTRUM MEDIAN GROOVE EITHER PRE OR POSTOPERATIVELY 439 AFAR IMCREGOR THE ABSENCE LACK OF DEVELOPMENT OR ALIGNMENT OF THE NORMAL PROMI RHE RHE NENCE THAT IS IN THE UPPER LIP SKIN JUST ABOVE JUNCRION AT VERMILION BORDER THIS HAS BEEN CALLED THE WHITE LINE OR WHIRE ROLL GILLIES THEY CALLED IT THE CUTANEOUS UPIWEEP OF THE UPPER LIP NOTED THAT MARCKS AND TREVASKIS CLAIMED ITS PRESENCE IN ALL CASES AND OF EMPHASIZED ITS IMPORTANCE AS LANDMARK IN ALIGNMENT THE CLEFT LIP ELEMENTS OCONNORAND MCGREGOR ELABORATED ON THE FUNCTION OF THE PHILTRUM THE OF RHE TWO MEDIAL THE PHILTRUM BESIDES BEING

BOW CONSTRUCTION TRANSFORMING BLAIRBROWN INTO HAGEDORNLEALESURIER WHEN TRIANGULAR FLAPS FROM THE LATERAL LIP SEGMENTS HAVE BEEN SLID TOWARD EACH OTHER BELOW THE INFERIOR EDGE OF THE PROLABIUM TO TOUCH TIP TO RIP AS IN THE BLAIRBROWN METHOD OFTEN SINGLE MUCOCURANEOUS ARC IS CREATED WITH THE SUGGESTION OF CENTRAL VERMILION WHISTLING DEFORMITY THE ADVANTAGE OF THE HAGE DORNLEMESURIER METHOD WAS THAT IT CREATED AN ARTIFICIAL CUPID BOW THUS BY TURNING THE TRIANGULAR FLAPS WITH ADDITIONAL EXCISIONS INTO QUADRILATERAL FLAPS WIDER AT THEIR MEDIAL ENDS THE SEMBLANCE OF CUPIDS BOW IS ACHIEVED EVEN WITH MIDLINE TUBERCLE WEEKS POSTOPERATIVE THE UNNATURAL POSITION OF THE SKIN SCARS OF COURSE IS MORE NOTICEABLE WEEKS AFRER BUT FOREVER THREE SURGERY WILL DETRACT IN SOME DEGREE FROM THE ULTIMATE RESULT

WAS ON LIP OUR BOOK REALIZED THAT WHEN THE MUCOCUTANEOUS LINE CURVES WITHOUT ANY PEAKS BUT THE LIP IS LOOSE WITH NO REASON TO INSERT AN ABBE FLAP THE GILLIES CUPIDS BOW PROCEDURE CAN BE USEFUL TRIED
