What is Cleft Lip & Palate Surgery?
Cleft lip and palate surgery corrects birth defects involving a gap in the upper lip and/or roof of the mouth. Performed in infancy, it restores normal appearance and improves feeding, speech, hearing, and facial growth.
What causes it:
- Genetic factors: Often runs in families or associated with certain syndromes
- Environmental influences: Maternal smoking, alcohol use, or lack of folic acid during pregnancy
- Nutritional deficiencies: Especially during early pregnancy
- Unknown causes: In many cases, the exact cause remains unclear
Symptoms:
- Visible split or gap in the lip and/or roof of the mouth
- Difficulty with feeding in infants due to poor suction
- Nasal-sounding speech or speech delays
- Frequent ear infections or hearing problems
Complete Process
Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a detailed assessment, including feeding ability, growth charts, imaging, and team consultations (ENT, speech therapist, pediatrician, orthodontist).
Primary Surgery
Cleft Lip Repair: Realignment of skin, muscle, and nose structure to create a natural-looking lip , Cleft Palate Repair: Closure of the palatal gap to restore proper speech and feeding function.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Patients typically recover in 5–7 days with post-op guidance. We provide feeding support, pain management, and scar care advice.
Long-Term Follow-Up
We monitor your child’s speech, dental development, facial growth, and psychosocial progress. Additional surgeries or therapies may be offered if required.
