The parents of a 5-month-old baby girl brought their child to our hospital for surgical correction of her incomplete cleft lip birth defect. Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the primary cleft lip repair using modified Millard’s technique. After suture removal 7 days post-operative, the baby’s appearance was greatly enhanced. The baby’s parents were very happy with the surgery outcome and that their baby’s lip defect was expertly treated.

Cleft lip occurs when parts of the face forming the lip fail to fuse normally before birth. Incomplete cleft lip is when the gap in the lip does not extend up to the nose. Cleft lip correction is done usually when the baby is about 3 months old using modified Millard’s surgical technique. Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji has successfully treated innumerable patients from all over the world born with cleft lip and cleft palate.
