ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the Millard II technique for correcting secondary deformities of unilateral cleft lip.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The Millard II technique was used to correct secondary deformities of unilateral cleft lip in 42 patients from March of 2003 to September of 2004. Dissection was made between the alar cartilage and skin, and the alar cartilage was suspended.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The postoperative follow-ups with 3 approximately 6 months revealed good results of the symmetrical nostrils and philtrums, prolonged columella nasi, good-shaped cupid's bow, and invisible scar.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The Millard II technique could be an ideal method to correct secondary deformities of unilateral cleft lip. Releasing and suspending alar cartilage spontaneously at the same time can correct nasal deformity adequately.</p>
