While I prefer to repair a cleft lip and palate after NAM (nasoalveolar molding) that brings the two sides closer together, a single-stage repair is still possible with adequate release of the muscle, and release and reconstruction of the nasal sidewall.
A lip adhesion (2-stage lip repair) may have been offered by some teams, but I’d prefer to do this in 1 stage to minimize the number of surgeries, anesthesia exposures, and hospital stays, if we can still provide a safe and quality outcome.
As the foundation comes together, the balance and bulk of the lip will continue to even out. Small touchups of the lip may be offered at the time of later scheduled surgeries, such as the palate repair, bone grafting at 7-9 years old, or cleft rhinoplasty at 16-18 years old.
