Objective: To analyze and measure the anthropometric value of lips and nasolabial in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip after labioplasty using the Millard technique. Material and Methods: This research is a cross-sectional observational study. Thirty subjects who had a complete unilateral cleft lip and had undergone a labioplasty operation using the Millard technique for more than 3 months. Taking photos from the basilar with a distance of 75cm, the points measured were nostrill, nasal dome, columella and nose while from the frontal direction with a distance of 50 cm, the points measured were En, Al, Sba, Sn, Cph, Is, Ch and VML. The photo is taken perpendicular to a 90 degree angle in the frontal direction and a 45 degree angle to the subject in the basilar direction. Results: This study showed that nasolabial and lip measurements from the frontal direction did not have a significant difference between post-labioplasty with the normal side (p> 0.05) while nasolabial and lip measurements from the basilar direction, there was a significant difference between post-labioplasty and normal side (p <0.05). Conclusion: Millard technique is able to give good results in the frontal direction, while from the basilar direction it does not give good results so secondary operation is necessary.
