From Hyderabad to Mumbai for Bilateral Cleft Lip Repair β€οΈ
This little child travelled from Hyderabad to Mumbai for bilateral cleft lip repair surgery by Dr. Parit Ladani, Maxillofacial Surgeon at NUFACE Cleft & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre.
Before surgery, the child underwent cleft lip taping (lip taping) as part of the pre-surgical cleft care.
πΆ Why is Lip Taping Important in Cleft Lip?
Cleft lip taping can help gradually bring the separated lip segments closer, improve lip alignment, and reduce the width of the cleft before surgery. In selected babies, this can help create more favourable conditions for cleft lip repair.
Lip taping is not a replacement for surgery, but it can be an important part of comprehensive cleft care when advised and monitored by a cleft specialist.
