Also known as cleft lip surgery, it aims to correct the congenital malformation of the region, which can occur individually or together (lip + palate), aiming to restore function and provide a normal appearance. Malformation occurs during fetal formation and may affect one or both sides of the face (unilateral or bilateral).

When the malformation of the lip and palate occurs, it can also affect the formation of the nose, which may present deviated septum, flattening, among other deformities. The surgery aims to correct the congenital malformation of the region, improving breathing and increasing the patient’s quality of life.

When malformation of the lip and palate occurs, it may also affect the formation of the jaw, which may present bone asymmetry in the jaw, impairing oral functions. The surgery aims to correct malformation in the region by aligning the jaw and maxilla, providing better occlusion and facial symmetry.

The ears may contain deformities, caused by congenital malformation or acquired at some point due to an accident. Ear reconstruction surgery aims to restore form and function through two phases: cartilage reconstruction and the skin lining of the ear.
