Download scientific diagram | Vermilion markings. Point a is the peak of the cleft side Cupid's bow. Points B and C are marked on the red line of the lip, below the Cupid's bow peak (point B) and when the vermilion starts to taper (point C). Point b is placed such that segments a-B and a-b are equidistant to ensure symmetric vermilion height. Point c is placed on the lesser segment red line, where B-C equals b-c. a, external view of preoperative markings. B, intraoral view of markings and planned incisions. from publication: Unilateral Cleft Lip Repair: Technical Maneuvers to Achieve Vermilion and Mucosal Height | Patients with unilateral cleft lip often require secondary procedures due to asymmetric fullness or deficiencies along the mucosal free margin of the upper lip. Here, we describe our technique for mucosal advancement and repair to attain symmetry. Methods: Maneuvers to | Cleft Lip, Mucosal and Repair | ResearchGate, the professional network for scientists.
