Cleft Care
Cleft lip & palate care
Compassionate, medically responsible care for children and their families.
Cleft lip
A cleft lip is an opening or separation in the upper lip that forms before birth. It may affect one or both sides and can vary in size.
Cleft palate
A cleft palate is an opening in the roof of the mouth. It can affect feeding, speech and hearing, which is why coordinated care matters.
Reconstructive care
Surgical repair aims to restore structure and function. Timing and approach depend on each child's individual needs.
Consultation
The first visit is a chance for families to ask questions, share history, and understand the care pathway.
Surgical planning
Plans are made carefully and explained clearly, including benefits, risks and what to expect. Outcomes cannot be promised.
Patient & family education
Families receive guidance on feeding, preparation for surgery, and caring for their child at home.
Follow-up
Ongoing follow-up helps monitor healing, growth and development over time.
