Cleft Lip and Palate Repair in India starts from $3500. The total cost of the treatment depends on the diagnosis and facilities opted by the patient.
Cleft lip and cleft palate are common birth conditions in which there is a small opening in the mouth. This may lead to problems in speaking and eating. The opening can be in the form of splits in the upper lip or on the roof of the mouth (palate) or both. The deformities result when the facial structure of the baby is not fully formed at the delta development stage.
Cleft lip and cleft palate repair is a procedure performed to close the opening and correct the deformity so that the child can speak and eat properly. Surgery helps restore normal functioning but sometimes the child may require additional speech therapy so that they start talking normally.
Cleft lip and cleft palate repair are usually done when the baby is 10 to 12 months old. The procedure is also known as palatoplasty.
