mandibular setback alone [47]. However, the planning and execution of the osteoto­mies and fixation have to be more meticulous.
.. Secondary deformities
Despite advancements in cleft care and the development of excellent compre­hensive care centers, most patients, especially in developing countries with clefts, still need to receive ideal treatment as per the current international protocols [48]. Surgeons need to understand the longevity and profound impact of poorly performed surgeries. Secondary deformities of the cleft lips are a rule rather than an exception [48]. Even after the most perfect initial repair, deformities may occur due to scar maturation and growth. Many children do not undergo any presurgical orthopedics/ orthodontics or subsequent dental and maxillofacial treatment, thereby aggravating the secondary deformities [48].
The treatment should ideally start with presurgical orthopedics followed by chei­loplasty, palatoplasty, continued orthodontic treatment, preschool minor revisions, distraction of midface when necessary, rhinoplasty, and orthognathic surgery as required in adulthood [48]. Throughout this treatment, the patient’s result is dynami­cally influenced by growth. The final result of any cleft surgery is hence evident only after the child’s growth is complete. Therefore, it is difficult to envisage a scenario without secondary cleft lip deformities.
Secondary deformities of the lip are classified as scar-related, lip-related, white roll-related, vermillion-related, philtrum-related, muscle-related, or asymmetry of the structures. Scar-related issues may be a wide scar, hypertrophic scar, contracted scar, scar with cross hatches/suture marks, and hyperpigmented/ hypopigmented scar. Lip-related problems may be the presence of a long lip, short lips, or tight lips. The white roll may be misaligned, scarred, or thinned. Vermillion may be misaligned, notched, thinned, or deformed (“whistle lip defor­mity”). Besides being unsightly, lack of muscle repair or poor muscle alignment leads to shallow buccal sulcus or absence of a sulcus, causing an adherent lip. Philtrum, being the central element of the lip, is very apparent when it is wide, narrow, or absent. The secondary deformities must be corrected surgically when­ever the patient presents, as they cause ridicule of the child in school, and most of these deformities worsen with the child’s growth.
.. Secondary rhinoplasty
After a balanced and symmetric skeletal base is achieved, secondary rhinoplasty is performed. No single technique, to date, has provided a definite solution for correct­ing all the problems accompanying these deformities. Secondary rhinoplasty can be performed using an open or closed technique. The open approach is preferred for better exposure and visualization of the nasal elements. An open technique refers to lifting the skin off the nose to operate, while a closed technique is done through tiny incisions. Transcolumellar and infracartilaginous incisions are most frequently employed to visualize the lower lateral cartilages and the nasal septum.
The usual steps required in definitive rhinoplasty are septum straightening, tip elevation, columella lengthening, alar rim augmentation and dorsum augmentation with cartilage grafts, alar base augmentation and repositioning, correction of ves­tibular webs, elevation of nostril sill and nasal bones osteotomy. The extent of surgery needed is tailor-made to each patient’s deformity.

The usual steps are as follows. The open dorsal approach with tip-takedown is used to expose the septum. The septum is partially resected, leaving an L-shaped strut for dorsal caudal support. The remaining septum is repositioned in the midline and sutured to the periosteum of the anterior nasal spine. Submucous resection of the hypertrophied inferior turbinate may be required to improve the nasal airway. The inferiorly displaced cleft-side alar cartilage is advanced medially and sutured to its counterpart on the non-cleft side to obtain a balanced nasal tip. Placement of colu­mellar strut graft, along with suturing of the medial and middle crura of both the alar cartilages to the tip of the strut, achieves tip projection, symmetry, and support [11].
The placement of cartilage grafts for support and reinforcement is a significant element of the cleft rhinoplasty surgery. Autologous cartilage grafts, from septum, costa, and auricle, are used for augmenting deficient areas and restoring structural support in the nose. Splinting the alar rim with cartilage grafts is required, as the cleft cartilage is too weak to withstand the deforming forces of the depressed dorsal skin mold, gravity, and growth. Patients with internal nasal valve dysfunction may benefit from a spreader graft. Patients may need lateral osteotomies to narrow the dorsum, or straighten a deviated nasal pyramid. If lateral osteotomies do not adequately narrow the dorsum, a central segment is removed to create an open roof via paramedian oste­otomies [11]. The nasal bones are, then, in-fractured to achieve adequate narrowing. Nasal bone osteotomies are performed either percutaneously with a 2-mm osteotome or transnasally.
. Outcome
. Outcome analysis
CLP impacts many patient life domains, including appearance, speech, social integration, self-image, and physical and psychological functioning. Poor facial esthetics significantly affect health-related quality of life in people with repaired CLP. Investigators have used questionnaires about quality of life to highlight the disparity between functional outcomes and patient satisfaction. Young adult women report poorer satisfaction with their appearance, without any significant difference in functional outcomes of biting, chewing, swallowing, and speech comprehensibil­ity. Presently, instruments related to one domain, such as speech, are being used to evaluate the impact of CLP on a person [49]. A free-to-use cleft-specific instrument that considers all CLP domains is sorely needed.
More comprehensive, valid, and reliable questionnaires for CLP surgery must be created [49]. The measurement instruments that have been validated in CLP are as follows: craniofacial-specific measures (Youth Quality of Life–Facial Differences), voice-related measures (Patient Voice–Related Quality of Life and Cleft Audit Protocol for Speech–Augmented), and oral health-related measures (Child Oral Health Impact Profile and Child Oral Health Quality of Life) [49].
The Youth Quality of Life–Facial Differences questionnaire consists of 48 ques­tions across five realms: stigma, negative self-image, positive consequences, negative consequences, and coping. It is applied to children 11 to 18years old. The Pediatric Voice-Related Quality of Life survey is a parent proxy instrument (Table ). It is a 10-item instrument that measures social-emotional and physical-functional aspects of voice and speech issues. The Cleft Audit Protocol for Speech–Augmented is designed for parents of CLP children and measures 14 speech parameters, including

The Child Oral Health Impact Profile assesses self-reported oral-facial well-being in children aged 8–15. It consists of 34 items in five domains: oral health, functional well-being, social/emotional well-being, school environment, and self-image [49]. The Child Oral Health Quality of Life questionnaire measured self-reported oral health­related quality of life in children aged 11–14, including oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional, and social well-being (Table ). A shorter 16- and 8-item questionnaire, of the original 37-item questionnaire, is used in clinical settings [49].

. Midface beauty
The extent of abnormal growth of the mid-face varies from mild to severe. It is affected by genetics, cleft severity, timing of surgery, skills of the surgeon, and the number of revision surgeries performed.
There are no universally accepted parameters of mid-face beauty. Various surgeons have given some ways to describe an esthetically pleasing face. Little described the face as an ogee (a curvilinear silhouette in art and architecture). The soft tissues of the ideal youthful mid-face form an ogee, in the oblique view. Ramirez muses the whole youthful face looks similar to a double ogee curve, with the convexity of the upper ogee at the lateral brow and the lower ogee at the upper mid-face.
Bartlett and Whitaker describe the bizygomatic distance as the broadest portion of the face [50]. The bitemporal and bigonial distances are approximately equal and 10% less than the bizygomatic distance [50]. Linkov et al. have defined the line connecting the right and left zygomaxillary points as WIZDOM (Width of the Interzygomatic Distance of the Midface), where 1.6xWIZDOM was the facial length (hairline to the chin in the midline) (Figure ) [50].

. Conclusion
36
CLP is a common congenital anomaly. It is the cause of many esthetic, functional, and psychosocial issues [11]. The needs of the affected children must be acknowl­edged, and measures must be tailored to address them. This chapter summarizes the relevant clinical information for the diagnosis and management of children born with cleft anomalies. Table in children born with CLP. It has been shown in multiple studies that the quality of life of families of children born with CLP is impacted negatively, the degree worsen­ing with the severity of cleft [51]. Other studies show that the family’s quality of life improves significantly with appropriate management [52]. The holistic care of the cleft child and the family and their harmonious integration into society is the ultimate goal of all treatment.
