Lip repair was done using Millard\u2019s rotation advancement technique by a single consultant. Standardised photographs were taken; preoperatively and during different postoperative periods; immediately, 1 week, 3, and 6 months. Indirect measurements of eight linear distances were carried out using Rulerswift software application. For all statistical analyses of mean difference, a P-value of less than 0.05 was accepted as being statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 52% were women, whereas 44% were men. There are considerable disparities between the cleft and non-cleft sides of complete unilateral cleft patients before surgery; statistically significant differences of 1.4\u2009mm, 6.3\u2009mm, and \u201317.6\u2009mm in vertical lip height, philtral height, and nasal width respectively. Six months after repair, statistically significant differences in lip height between the cleft and the non-cleft side were observed in vertical lip height, nasal width, and philtral height (mean difference of \u20131.28\u2009\u00b1\u20090.78, 2.02\u2009\u00b1\u20092.86, 1.22\u2009\u00b1\u20091.83\u2009mm;\n P <<\/jats:italic>\n 0.001,\n P =<\/jats:italic>\n 0.016,\n P =<\/jats:italic>\n 0.022, respectively). Horizontal lip height was maintained with no statistically significant difference (mean difference of \u20130.12\u2009\u00b1\u20092.19\u2009mm).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Following cleft repair, using Millard\u2019s rotation advancement technique, differences in lip\u2013nose morphometric parameters were found to be reduced, however, not always eliminated by treatment.<\/jats:p>\n
