To evaluate the probability of repairing the severe cleft lip and nose in one time. 35 patients were included. A revised method was presented based on the popular methods used. Among 35 patients, the length of lip in two sides was equal in 33 patients, and the appearance of the nose shape was satisfactory in 31 patients evaluated by third expert group. The method presented in this paper could repair the abnormalities of the lip and nose effectively in severe cleft lip patients in one time and was adapted in the patients who could not be treated with serial methods because of a bad economic state.
