Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery

Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery

Cleft lip and palate surgery is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at correcting congenital deformities of the lip and/or palate. A cleft lip and/or palate occurs when there is a gap or split in the upper lip and/or roof of the mouth (palate) during fetal development. This condition can affect feeding, speech, dental development, and facial appearance. Cleft lip and palate surgery involves repairing the cleft to improve function, aesthetics, and overall quality of life. The surgical approach may vary depending on the severity and extent of the cleft, and may involve multiple procedures performed over several years to achieve optimal results.

Transformations

Improved Facial Aesthetics

Cleft lip and palate surgery aims to restore a more natural and symmetrical appearance to the lip, nose, and surrounding facial structures, enhancing overall facial aesthetics.

Enhanced Functionality

Surgery helps improve speech development, feeding ability, dental occlusion, and oral function by closing the cleft and restoring normal anatomy and function of the lip and palate.
