Cleft palate surgery is a crucial procedure for repairing congenital cleft palates, restoring both functional and aesthetic aspects of the mouth and facial features. This surgery significantly improves speech development, feeding, and overall quality of life for individuals with a cleft palate. At Velora Face Clinic, we provide expert care led by Dr. B. Ramchandra, a highly experienced craniofacial and cosmetic surgeon in Hyderabad, to restore both form and function for children and adults alike.
The surgery repairs the separation in the roof of the mouth, improving speech, eating, and breathing.
It aids in speech development and the ability to feed normally, ensuring the child's development is on track.
The surgery also restores a more normal appearance to the palate and mouth area, improving overall facial symmetry.
During your consultation, Dr. B. Ramchandra will assess the severity of the cleft palate, discuss the surgical plan, and address any questions you may have about the process.
The surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia and may take approximately 2-3 hours, depending on the complexity of the cleft.
Recovery is generally brief, with most patients resuming normal activities within 1-2 weeks. However, final results and functional improvements will be visible over several months.
After surgery, mild swelling and discomfort are expected. We will provide detailed care instructions to manage pain and swelling.
As the healing process continues, you will see significant improvements in speech, feeding, and the appearance of the palate.
Dr. B. Ramchandra will follow up regularly to ensure the best recovery, monitor progress, and address any concerns that may arise.
If you or your child needs cleft palate surgery in Hyderabad, Dr. B. Ramchandra is here to help. With his expertise and personalised care, we can restore both function and aesthetic harmony.
