Cleft Lip Surgery
Cleft lip surgery is a reconstructive surgery to correct a cleft lip, which is an abnormality during fetal development that occurs when the two sides of the upper lip fail to join together. This results in an opening in the lip and may also involve the roof of the mouth. Cleft lip surgery is a vital procedure to ensure the proper physical and psychological development of a child. It can improve facial appearance, speech and eathing functions, and plays an important part in the patient's self-esteem and overall wellbeing. The procedure can be performed from birth through to adolescence, depending on the severity of the case. The surgeon will first evaluate the patient, and then repair the cleft lip using sutures, tissue grafts, or other techniques.
