OBJECTIVE: To analyze and describe the advantages and disadvantages of the Millard repair in the unilateral cleft lip (UCL).

RESULTS: Postoperative follow-up of 6-12 months revealed the good results with invisible scar, good preservation of philtrum dimple and column, full vermilion and lengthened columella, good alar cartilage reposition. CONCLUSION: The Millard method is good for UCL repair. The modified technique with a triangle flap on the vermilion edge can overcome Millard's disadvantages.
