Cleft Lip
Cleft Lip Treatment at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, we provide comprehensive care for individuals with cleft lip, a congenital condition that affects the upper lip. Our goal is to offer effective surgical solutions to repair the cleft lip and improve both function and appearance.
Understanding Cleft Lip
Cleft lip is a birth defect where there is an opening or split in the upper lip that can extend into the nose. This condition occurs when the tissue that forms the lip does not fully come together during pregnancy. Cleft lip can vary in severity from a small notch in the lip to a large gap that extends up into the nose.
Common Indications for Cleft Lip Treatment
- Visible Cleft: A noticeable gap or split in the upper lip that can impact appearance and self-esteem.
- Feeding Difficulties: Challenges with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding due to the gap in the lip.
- Speech Problems: Difficulty with speech development and articulation, often associated with a cleft lip.
- Dental Issues: Potential dental and oral problems related to the cleft, including misaligned teeth or jaw issues.
