Can congenital facial deformities be corrected in infancy?

In many cases, corrective surgeries for congenital facial deformities, such as cleft lip repair, are performed in infancy. However, the timing may vary based on the specific deformity and the child's overall health.

Is additional surgery needed as the child grows?

Depending on the nature of the congenital deformity, additional surgeries may be needed as the child grows to address changes in facial development and optimize outcomes.

For conditions like cleft lip and palate, timely correction can positively impact speech development. Speech therapists may also be involved in the treatment plan.

Are there non-surgical options for congenital facial deformity correction?

Some congenital facial deformities may benefit from non-surgical interventions, such as orthodontic treatment or speech therapy. However, surgical correction is often necessary for optimal outcomes.

Will my child need ongoing care for a congenital facial deformity?

The need for ongoing care depends on the specific congenital deformity and the interventions performed. Regular follow-up appointments may be recommended to monitor development.
