Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery

Configuring Contours with Competence and Expertise

Craniofacial disorders are facial or head deformities caused by a congenital defect, sickness, or trauma. Cleft lip and palate are more common in India, with 1 in 600 babies being born with the condition. If you’re a surgical candidate, the specialist surgeon will create a unique treatment plan for you. With the best infrastructure and personnel, Medica’s team of skilled cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons makes our patients’ dreams into reality. Our surgeons are skilled and experienced in using the most up-to-date techniques to give our patients the finest possible results.

What is Cleft Lip and Palate, and how does it affect you?

Two frequent congenital birth abnormalities are cleft lip and palate. A cleft lip is a gap in the lip, whereas a cleft palate is a gap in the roof of the mouth (palate). The term “congenital” refers to a condition that exists at the moment of a child’s birth. Facial clefts can affect people of all ethnicities and are twice as prevalent in boys as they are in girls, despite the fact that cleft palates are slightly more common in girls.

What Causes a Cleft to Form?

In the majority of cases, the actual source of this illness is unknown. However, the cleft condition is caused by the genetic and environmental variables listed below.

• Folic acid synthase genes that are defective
• Pregnancy drugs that aren’t wanted
• Alcoholism in the mother
• Malnutrition of the mother
• Vitamin-A deficiency
• Smoking

What to Expect?
