My favorite patients and surgeries are for our cleft babies. What we do for their first surgery can set the tone and direction for the rest of their lives.

As techniques have evolved, and we have learned about the effects 20+ years down the line, we have been able to continuously bring down the number of surgeries people have over their lifetime.

I’m thankful to have learned from many thoughtful and compassionate mentors. Hopefully I can continue to humbly build on the foundations they’ve laid, and continue to make progress in cleft care!

Case Details

Cleft lip repair is traditionally done at about 3 months of age.

Some centers have moved this up to 2-4 weeks, once the child is doing well and gaining weight. There may be some benefits to feeding and weight gain doing this on the earlier side.
