Surgical correction for Tessier number 7 craniofacial cleft using a medially overcorrected design.

CONCLUSIONS: For the successful correction of macrostomia, plastic surgeons should consider both functional and aesthetic problems of the lip. Adequate repair of the orbicularis oris muscle, skin closure with Z-plasty, and medial overcorrection of the neo-oral commissure led to good results in our patients. PMID: 30685937 [PubMed]
