Successful surgical repair of incomplete cleft lip

A 3 month old baby girl was born with unilateral incomplete cleft lip. Her parents brought to our hospital for surgical management.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the cleft lip repair using modified Millard’s technique. Following suture removal 7 days after surgery, the baby’s appearance was greatly enhanced. The baby’s parents were very happy to have the cleft lip defect corrected with very negligible scar.
