CLEFT LIP AND PALATE


Cleft lip and palate are among the most common congenital facial differences, affecting thousands of children worldwide. While primary surgical corrections in infancy can dramatically improve function and appearance, some patients may experience ongoing challenges. At [Your Practice Name], we specialize in addressing the sequelae, or after-effects, of primary cleft corrections.

Common sequelae following primary cleft corrections

1. Cleft Lip Nose Deformities: 
   Despite initial repair, residual nasal asymmetry often persists. This can include a deviated columella, flattened nasal tip, and asymmetrical nostrils. These issues not only affect appearance but can also impact breathing function.

2. Scar-Related Issues:
   While scarring is an inevitable part of surgical correction, some patients develop hypertrophic or widened scars. These can be particularly noticeable on the upper lip, potentially affecting facial expressions and self-esteem.

3. Fistulae:
   Small openings between the mouth and nose, known as fistulae, can sometimes develop after palate repair. These can lead to speech problems, nasal regurgitation of fluids, and chronic infections.

Our approach to these challenges involves comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans. We utilize advanced surgical techniques to refine nasal symmetry, revise scars, and close fistulae. Our goal is to enhance both function and aesthetics, helping our patients achieve optimal outcomes.
