Cleft Lip Correction

A cleft lip is a congenital condition where there is a gap or opening in the upper lip. This gap can vary in size and may extend into the nose. Cleft lip occurs when the tissues that form the upper lip do not fully fuse during fetal development, leading to a visible separation.

To correct a cleft lip, surgical intervention is typically required.Welcome to the transformative world of cleft lip correction - a remarkable journey towards restoring physical harmony with .

What causes cleft lip

Causes:  The exact cause of cleft lip is not always clear, but it often involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It can occur early in pregnancy when the tissues of the upper lip and mouth don't fuse properly.

Types:  Cleft lips can vary in severity. A unilateral cleft lip involves a gap on one side of the upper lip, while a bilateral cleft lip occurs on both sides. The cleft may extend into the nose, affecting the overall facial structure.

Correcting cleft lip

  • Consultation:  The journey to correct a cleft lip begins with a consultation with our specialized surgeon,Dr.Dushyanth Kalva. During this phase, our medical team will assess the individual case, discuss treatment options, and address any concerns or questions from the patient and their family.
  • Surgical Procedure:  The primary method for correcting a cleft lip is through surgery. This procedure is often performed when the child is a few months old, allowing for optimal healing and development. The surgeon carefully closes the gap in the lip, reconstructing normal anatomy to improve both function and appearance. Multiple surgeries may be necessary, particularly in more complex cases.
  • Possible Side Effects:  While cleft lip correction surgeries are generally safe, there can be temporary side effects. These may include swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the surgical site. Our highly trained medical team will provide detailed information on what to expect and monitor the recovery process closely.
  • Aftercare:  The post-surgery phase involves diligent aftercare. This includes follow-up appointments with the medical team to monitor healing progress, provide guidance on wound care, and address any concerns. Nutritional considerations and speech therapy may also be recommended to support overall development.
