Cleft Lip Surgery

Cleft Lip Surgery

Cleft lip is a congenital condition resulting from the incomplete closure of the lip tissue. Op. Dr. Saffet Ulutaş follows a multidisciplinary approach in such cases to provide both aesthetic and functional improvement. During surgical planning, attention is paid to the state of the lip muscles, nasal wing asymmetry, and dental structure.

During surgery, the lip muscles are reshaped, the nasal base is supported, and the lip contour is made symmetrical. Aesthetic suture techniques are used to minimize post-operative scars. Dr. Ulutaş plans additional interventions if necessary to eliminate nasal tip asymmetry.

Wound care, nutritional habits, and speech development are closely followed during the recovery period. Families are taught massage and exercise techniques that can be applied at home. If necessary, the child's speech skills are strengthened by receiving logopedic support. Lip form, nose shape, and tooth alignment are evaluated with regular checks.

Early intervention in cleft lip surgery facilitates social adaptation and increases the success of future orthodontic treatments. Op. Dr. Saffet Ulutaş provides a safe and transparent treatment experience by informing families throughout the process.
