Rabbit lips can be repaired and corrected by surgery with good results. Generally, there will be no serious sequelae, but the operation must be carried out by experienced pediatricians and plastic surgeons. Some parents of children are indifferent to their children, which delays the best treatment period for children with cleft lip and palate, because the sooner they receive corrective surgery, the better the recovery effect will be.
Babies with simple cleft lip can go to the hospital for cleft lip repair when the child is 3 to 4 months old. Abroad, it is considered that the best therapeutic effect is when the child 10 weeks old, the weight 10 kg and the hemoglobin 10 g.
If there is cleft palate at the same time, some repair operations must be done to help the baby eat milk and pronounce correctly in the future. Whether it is cleft lip or cleft palate, because of the different shapes and degrees, the time of operation should be decided according to your own situation.
If only the outer lip is cracked, only surgical suture is needed; If the cleft lip involves the upper palate, the cleft palate must be repaired. Cleft lip will not leave obvious marks after suture, but it will no longer affect eating. Doctors suggest that cleft lip repair should be between half a year old and 1 half a year old, which is helpful for children's language recovery in the future.
If you ignore the rabbit's lips, it is easy to cause inflammation. Because the pressure in the mouth of cleft lip and palate baby is not enough, it is easy to choke into the trachea or flow into the ear when eating milk or drinking water. When milk enters the lungs by mistake, it will cause inflammation and develop into pneumonia. The flow of milk through the throat to the ear can easily cause otitis media, and pus or strange liquid flows out of the ear. Therefore, parents who feed babies with cleft lip and palate are particularly hard, and they should be especially careful when feeding.
