Director Wang Suijiang of the Plastic Surgery Department of Guangdong Second People’s Hospital said that cleft lip and palate are not exactly the same as harelips. Harelips simply refer to cleft lips, while cleft lip and palate refers to cleft deformities in the upper palate and lips at the same time.
When the above distortions exist, it will affect the baby's normal feeding, breathing and appearance. Therefore, in the early stage, you need to go to a professional cosmetic department for facial plastic surgery. Severe cleft lip and palate generally require more than 2-3 times. It can be completed only by surgery, and harelips are simple lip lesions and can basically be completed in one operation.
When the above diseases exist, in addition to affecting breastfeeding, they can also affect the baby's language function, so timely and early surgical treatment must be performed within 6 months of age.
