| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to present the experience with 4 adult CLP patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia and an unacceptable
upper lip. This was corrected with a Le Fort I advancement osteotomy en bloc or in two segments, bone grafting the alveolar
cleft if present and an Abbé flap. The combination of a Le Fort I osteotomy and an Abbé flap resulted in satisfactory functional
and aesthetic improvement in all 4 adult CLP patients without complications.
