Treatment Options
Treatment for cleft lip often involves a series of surgeries over several years, improving both aesthetics and function. These procedures may include
Primary Cleft Lip Repair: This is the initial surgery to fix the cleft, usually performed in the first few months of life.
Secondary Cleft Lip Repair: Additional surgeries might be needed as the child grows to improve the appearance of the lip and nose, enhance speech, and ensure proper dental development.
Our Recommended Treatment
We highly recommend a customized treatment plan based on the specific needs and conditions of the child. This often includes surgery, followed by ongoing monitoring and supportive therapies if required, like speech therapy or orthodontics.
Tips
- Post-surgery, ensure the child's diet is primarily liquids or soft foods to avoid putting pressure on the surgical site.
- Maintain regular follow-ups with the surgeon and adhere to the recommended care regime.
