Cleft Lip Surgery in Pune

A cleft lip can be successfully treated with surgery. This is often done in the first 3 to 6 months of life for cleft lip.

Cleft lip repair involves reconstructing the shape of the lip and the nose and joining the tissues that were not joined before birth. 

When having cleft lip repair surgery your baby will be placed under general anesthetic. This means they will be asleep during the surgery.

Speech therapy and dental care may also be needed. With appropriate treatment, outcomes are good.

Cleft Palate Surgery in Pune

Cleft palates have to be surgically repaired before the baby is ready to speak, usually between nine months and one year. During the operation, nearby mouth tissue is used to close over the cleft.

Some children will require further operations, such as pharyngoplasty, to help seal the mouth from the nasal cavity. Some children born with cleft palates will have speech difficulties after surgery. Speech pathology can help overcome this.
