Results A satisfied effect was achieved after 6 months to 2 years' follow up in 15 cases of the patients (4 cases of bilateral cleft, 11 cases of cheiloschisis). Conclusions The new operation method has improved the traditional method of cheiloplasty. It can effectively repair the secondary defection in nose and mouth resulted from the cheilochisis operation. It can rebuild the orbicularis oris muscle and repair the diseased alar catilage as well. Furthermore, it not only brings a natural looking appearance, but also a natural function and an invisible incision scar. [
