class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleft lip and palate occurs when a baby&#8217;s lip or palate does not fully join together during early pregnancy. This leaves a visible gap or split.It can affect only the lip, only the palate, or both. It may also occur on one side of the face (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral).Cleft lip and palate surgery closes this gap and restores normal structure. Beyond appearance, it improves feeding, speech development, and dental health.Surgeons usually recommend cleft lip repair around 3 to 6 months of age. Cleft palate repair is typically done between 9 to 18 months, depending on the child&#8217;s health.Learn more about related procedures on our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medixo.com\/plastic-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plastic and reconstructive surgery <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Needs_Cleft_Lip_and_Palate_Surgery\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Needs Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleft lip and palate surgery is recommended for any child born with a visible or partial cleft affecting the lip, palate, or both.It is also advised for children who face feeding difficulties, nasal regurgitation of milk, or early speech delays linked to an unrepaired cleft.In some cases, older children or even adults seek revision surgery to improve scarring, nose shape, or speech clarity from an earlier repair.

Most children go home within 1 to 3 days after lip or palate repair.Mild swelling and discomfort are normal in the first week. Soft or liquid feeding is usually required for a short period after palate repair.Full healing of the surgical site generally takes 4 to 6 weeks, though final scar fading can continue for up to a year. Regular follow-up visits help track healing and speech progress.For a full recovery checklist, visit our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medixo.com\/recovery-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recovery and aftercare page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Role_of_Speech_Therapy_After_Surgery\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Role of Speech Therapy After Surgery:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech therapy plays a key role in the overall success of cleft palate treatment.

Some children may also experience temporary difficulty with feeding right after surgery.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a small number of cases, a fistula (small opening) can form in the palate after repair, which may require a minor follow-up procedure to close.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing an experienced surgical team, like the one at Medixo, significantly reduces these risks and ensures proper post-operative monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Age_Considerations_for_Surgery\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age Considerations for Surgery:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The age at which surgery is performed plays a major role in the final outcome. Early intervention generally leads to better speech and feeding development.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleft lip repair is usually completed by 6 months of age, following the general rule of 10s&#8221; used by many surgeons \u2014 the baby should be at least 10 weeks old, weigh 10 pounds, and have a hemoglobin level of 10 g\/dL.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleft palate repair is typically scheduled before the child begins forming speech sounds, usually between 9 and 18 months, to support normal language development.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older children and adults with an unrepaired or poorly healed cleft can still benefit from corrective surgery, though results may vary depending on prior treatment history.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_Your_Child_for_Surgery\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing Your Child for Surgery:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper preparation helps ensure a smoother surgery and recovery process. Parents are usually advised to follow specific fasting instructions before the procedure.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surgical team at Medixo conducts a full pre-operative assessment, including blood tests and a physical evaluation, to confirm the child is fit for anesthesia.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents are also briefed on what to expect during hospital stay, feeding restrictions, and pain management after surgery, so they feel confident and prepared throughout the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
