#unilateralcleft

All children are beautiful. Look at this very handsome boy here, don't you think he's adorable and cute? Unfortunately, he was born with a cleft lip (a birth defect) and you can only imagine how these deformities can destroy not just their childhood but the whole life as these unlucky souls are subjected to teasing, isolation, humiliation that cause (terribly) broken confidence, low self-esteem, and don’t forget the amount of mental trauma due to always being looked at- like they are not normal! But thanks to today's advanced Plastic surgery methods, such defects can be repaired with minimal scarring. Dr. R. K. Mishra performed his Free surgery and his team took a few pictures just before this cutie angel was about to get the surgery done. A total 7 such children got their cleft lip and/or cleft palate repaired that day, and we cannot tell you how happy and content their parents were thst day. This was yet another day when we could not only make the families happy but also contribute to the lives of children. "As a partner, I am indebted to Smile Train for empowering me to be able to impact lives in such a deep manner" -Dr. R. K. Mishra, (Plastic, Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgeon), who is a member of ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) and Secretary of SRRE Welfare Society. He is the Managing Director at Smile Train partner Sushrut Institute of Plastic Surgery (SIPS) in Lucknow and has been associated with the program since 2007. #cleftrepair #cleftlip #cleftpalate #unilateralcleft #bilateralcleft #ulcl #blcl #cleftlippalate #cleftlipandpalate #Cleftsurgeon #cleftpalate #cleftcutie #smiletrain #freecleftlipsurgery #sipshospital #mycosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgery #drrkmishra #cosmeticsurgery #3keysutures #cleftpalaterepair https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHR1l3nHf2/?igshid=g70pzsyyr8z

Unilateral cleft lip and alveolus defect This little girl was born with a right-sided cleft lip and alveolus defect. Her parents were referred to us for surgical management of her defects. The labial sulcus was first recreated using a flap from the prolabium. It was then decided to do a three-layer closure to approximate the cleft segments of her lip. Under magnification provided by a surgical loupe, the orbicularis oris, subcutaneous tissue and skin were meticulously reapproximated to recreate the lip. Her parents were delighted with the results of the surgery and thanked the surgical team before discharge from the hospital. ##cleftlip #cleftlipandpalate #unilateralcleft #balajidental #smbalaji #drsmbalaji #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacialsurgeon #oralmaxillofacialsurgery https://www.instagram.com/p/B_O54zMhG6d/?igshid=1xvbmocev6mty
