One of our cleft cuties growing up all too quickly!

Cleft lip repair normally is offered at 3-6 months of age.

Palate repair then follows at 9-12 months of age as speech development speeds up. This can also be a good time to perform a tip rhinoplasty while under the same anesthetic, to bring the nasal tip closer together, and helping to round out the nostrils to have more height medially.

Ideally we then wait to perform a definitive rhinoplasty at full skeletal maturity and after any orthognathic surgery that may need to be done to align the upper and lower teeth.
