Patients with a history of cleft lip repaired in childhood commonly present requesting upper lip revision to improve deficiency in the volume of the upper lip vermillion and disharmony with respect to the volume of the lower lip. There are a number of techniques available to address this issue, however some of these carry the risk of potential donor site morbidity and the longevity of the volume of enhancement achieved is often unpredictable. We describe six successful cleft lip augmentation cases using a silicone lip implant, a technique only previously reported in the aesthetic augmentation population, and show how in the right patient, this can be a rewarding reconstructive option.
