Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common among birth defects. Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when there are no tissues available in the lip and mouth area to join them together. This clefting is a physical split or separation that occurs in the lip, the roof of the mouth, or both when the baby is still developing inside the womb.
Cleft lip and cleft palate may happen on one or both sides of the mouth as these areas develop separately. Even though cleft lip and cleft palate are considered as birth defects, they can be associated with hereditary conditions or syndromes.
Dr. Hiren Bhatt, Board Certified Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon of NVYA Aesthetics, Vadodara performs cleft lip and cleft palate surgery to restore normal appearance and functioning of the mouth.
As cleft lip and cleft palate may occur separately, there are two different surgeries for these problems.
Cleft lip repair surgery is aimed to close the separation that occurred in the lip and cleft palate repair surgery is aimed to rebuild the roof of the mouth and to fill in physical splits.
There are no definite reasons yet discovered that cause cleft lip and cleft palate. However, scientists believe that clefting may occur as a result of a combination of hereditary and environmental factors.
Family history, eating-drinking habits, smoking, consumption of certain medications by mother during pregnancy are some of the factors that could be considered as causes for clefting. Along with these factors, some evidence suggests that women who have diabetes and are obese during pregnancy have an increased risk of having a baby with a cleft lip and cleft palate.
Cleft lip and cleft palate can be diagnosed during a prenatal ultrasound. But if clefting goes undetected during an ultrasound, then a physical examination of mouth, palate, and nose can determine clefting as cleft lip and cleft palate are physically noticeable after birth.
For cleft lip and cleft palate surgery, general anesthesia is used so that child sleeps throughout the surgery.
Possible risks of cleft lip and cleft palate surgery include bleeding, infection, poor healing, widening or elevation of scars, and damage to nerves, blood vessels or other structures.
Please note that these risks and complications are rare and will not occur in one person. Dr. Hiren Bhatt takes the safety of his patients very seriously and takes all possible measures to avoid any kind of risks and complications.
