Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz employs state-of-the-art surgical techniques for cleft palate repair in adults. His meticulous approach ensures minimal scarring, faster recovery, and long-lasting results. Advanced methods are used to address both functional and aesthetic aspects of the cleft palate.
Cleft lip repair is usually recommended between 3 to 6 months of age, while cleft palate surgery is generally done between 9 to 18 months. However, treatment plans are personalized based on the patient’s health and specific condition.
Yes, cleft repair surgeries are not limited to infants or children. Adults can also undergo corrective surgery for cleft lip or palate, especially if they were untreated in childhood or have developed complications post-surgery.
Recovery depends on the type of procedure, but typically initial healing takes 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery may take longer and may include speech therapy, dental follow-ups, or further surgical corrections.
Integrated cleft care means providing surgery, speech therapy, dental care, psychological support, and long-term follow-up—all in one coordinated approach. This ensures better outcomes and a smoother journey for both patients and families.
Surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, so children don’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is managed effectively through medications and professional care.
