A cleft is a birth defect. Babies are
born with an opening in the lip and roof of the mouth (palate). Bones and tissues of babies’ upper jaw, nose
and mouth normally fuse to form the roof of the mouth or upper pallet during
pregnancy. Cleft may look as a small opening in the upper lip or can be
extended up to nose. Cleft might also extend into gums and affect the soft
palate near the back of the throat.
Cosmetic surgeons perform cleft palate surgery of babies
when they are 3-6 months old. After administering general anesthesia, surgeons
use special procedures like lip adhesion or a molding plate device to bring the
parts of lips closer together, before it is repaired completely. This surgery
might leave a scar on the lip under the nose.
At the age of 9-12 months cosmetic
surgeons repair the cleft palate by connecting the muscles of the soft palate
and rearranging the tissues to close the cleft. This surgery is performed
administering general anesthesia and might require a short stay in hospital for
recovery and healing.
If a patient is not satisfied with the
results of a nose job, surgeons can suggest going for a revision rhinoplasty
after waiting for sufficient period to evaluate the results of earlier surgery.
Usually a patient is asked to wait for at least a year for healing the scars.
This procedure might be different for
every patient depending on the specific area of the nose to be treated and
amount of amendment expected. Surgeons perform revision rhinoplasty
administering general anesthesia, local anesthesia or sedation. This takes
usually longer periods than primary rhinoplasty.
Surgeons try to recreate the symmetry of
nose by adding or removing cartilage. This helps in opening the airway and
achieving better shape of nose. Surgeons usually take incisions inside the
nostrils and perform the reshaping of specific part of nose.
