Testing fat grafting surgery for cleft lip nose deformities
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well a procedure called microfat grafting (using small amounts of fat to reshape tissue) works for nose and upper-lip shape changes after cleft lip. If you’re willing to have the surgery and can safely receive anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cleft lip nose deformity (nose shape changes after cleft lip).
- You are willing to be enrolled in the study.
- You are willing to have the surgery.
- There are no reasons you cannot safely receive anesthesia.

This trial asks adults who had a nose job as teens or children, after being born with a cleft lip and palate, to rate how they look and feel about their nose. Their answers will help doctors understand how these surgeries affect patients long-term.
This trial compares doing a single surgery to fix both the nose and gum problems caused by a cleft lip and palate, versus doing multiple surgeries over time. It aims to find out which approach works better for children and teens.
This trial compares two types of grafts used in nose surgery to improve the shape of the nose tip. It aims to find which graft gives better results for adults who have not had nose surgery before.
This trial is part of a quality-improvement and research program for people with typical facial clefts. It aims to help improve how care is organized and measured across treatment centers, which may benefit future patients and help your team deliver coordinated care.
This trial uses your own fat to fill in facial depressions or defects from an injury or surgery. First, fresh fat is used for grafting, and extra fat is frozen to use later if needed.
This trial tests a new nasal conformer (a small device placed in the nose after surgery) to see if it helps children who are having cleft lip repair or surgery to release nasal scarring. It may improve healing and nose shape.
