A couple from Lucknow brought their 4-month-old baby girl born with unilateral cleft lip and palate to our hospital for cleft management. They were very anxious about their baby’s birth defect and sought expert surgical care for her.
Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the primary cleft lip repair using modified Millard’s technique. Following suture removal seven days post-surgery, the baby’s appearance was greatly improved. The baby’s parents were very happy that their baby’s cleft lip deformity was corrected successfully. Cleft palate surgery will be done subsequently.
