Cleft Lip & Palate
Cleft lip and palate repairs are surgeries correcting developmental abnormalities, enhancing function and appearance of the mouth and lips. These procedures, using specialized plastic surgery techniques, significantly improve a child’s ability to eat, speak, hear, and breathe, and contribute to a more typical facial appearance.
What is Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery?
Cleft lip and palate surgery involves corrective procedures to repair congenital deformities of the upper lip (cleft lip) and the roof of the mouth (cleft palate). These conditions, which can occur separately or together, result from incomplete formation during fetal development. The surgery aims to reconstruct these areas, improving both appearance and functionality, and is tailored to each child’s specific needs.
Why is Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery Done?
The primary purpose of cleft lip and palate surgery is to correct developmental abnormalities to enhance a child’s ability to eat, speak, hear, and breathe normally. These surgeries go beyond cosmetic improvements; they involve intricate reconstruction to establish proper mouth and lip function, including the formation of a cupid’s bow and separation of nasal and oral tissues, contributing significantly to a child’s overall development and quality of life.
When Should I Call My Doctor?
You should consult with a specialist like Dr. Sanjeev Sasmith for cleft lip and palate concerns during the early stages of your child’s development. Early intervention is crucial for effective treatment planning, which may include feeding recommendations and surgical repair. Cleft lip repairs are typically done between 2-6 months of age, while cleft palate repairs are generally performed between 9-18 months, depending on your child’s health and specific needs. Prompt consultation ensures timely and appropriate care.
