There is no better place for a plastic surgeon to donate time than in a third world country. There is a large
demand for our services and little care available for deformed children. Many of these children are born with severe cleft lip/palate deformities that take stages to repair. The author presents a short series of unilateral cleft lip repairs with a nasal suspension suture at the time of the primary repair. The technique is simple and does not require much anesthesia time. A delayed nasal repair is thus avoided and the symmetry is excellent.
