The most common type of cleft lip repair is a rotation advancement repair. The plastic surgeon will make an incision on each side of the cleft from the lip to the nostril. The two sides of the lip are then sutured together, using tissue from the area to rearrange and close the lip as needed.
The objective of this procedure is to close the palatal defect and create an adequately functioning velopharyngeal mechanism for normal speech production. Surgery of the palate generally occurs between 9-15 months of age.
