What is Cleft Lip Repair Surgery?

cleft lip nj

A cleft lip nj is a birth condition that causes an opening or a split on a baby’s lip. This split may be very small or go all the way to the base of the nose. If you do not repair your child’s cleft lip, then they will have feeding and speech issues when they get older. The only way to cure this birth condition is by getting cleft lip repair surgery.

Cleft lip repair surgery is often done when the kid is two or three months old. It may be scary to let your small baby get an operation, but this is the safest way to cure the problem. If you delay cleft lip repair surgery until your child is older, then you are only going to increase the risk of dangerous side effects. Delaying the surgery may also allow your child to develop some irreversible symptoms associated with the condition.

Feeding a child with a cleft lip can be extremely difficult, but they must be a healthy weight before getting the surgery. Once your child has been deemed healthy enough for surgery, you must avoid giving them any medications that can prevent blood clotting for at least ten days. You will also have to make sure your baby does not eat or drink anything the morning of their surgery.

During cleft lip nj repair surgery, Dr. Rauscher can remove and reshape the tissues surrounding the cleft lip to close it. The cleft lip will then be sewed together to create a natural-looking lip.

Full recovery does not typically occur for a month, so you will have to take special care of the area after returning home. You will need to regularly clean and apply ointment to the area to avoid an infection. Your baby will be on a strict liquid diet until their lip is fully healed. It is also important to keep your child’s hands out of their mouth during the healing process. This can be very difficult to achieve for a small child, so they may have to wear arm splints until fully recovered.

Once your child has recovered from cleft lip repair surgery, you should notice a drastic change in their eating habits. It will be much easier to get your child to eat, and they should be able to easily maintain a healthy weight.

Dr. Gregory E. Rauscher, MD is well-versed in cleft lip and cleft palate repair surgery. During a consultation at his office in Hackensack, he will be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. Contact us today to schedule your appointment to learn more.

Very knowledgeable. He is a genious! He told me incredible stories as he reattached my nerve. My wife was amazed. Extremely pricey though, thank God it was workman's compensation.
Dr. Rauscher and his staff is amazing. He called me and texted me during post surgery just to put me at ease when I still wasn’t comfortable after a sever finger cut.Brought me in to clarify even more. He responds to text within minutes . After surgery he’s accessible and he’s truly amazing. Staff was awesome too very patient, explains everything clearly and just made my experience that much better.

He answers all questions and is so kind. He is awesome I can go on forever and his work is even better ! He saved my finger. He is so worth checking out !read more
I have know Dr. Rauscher for over 35 years as both a patient, and mother of a patient. His knowledge and expertise is exemplary, and equal to his demeanor and professionalism.
What can I say that will do this doctor justice. He is the most knowledgeable and humane doctor I have ever encountered. I have been a patient of Dr. Rauschers since I was 19 my case was a bit complicated and he never gave up on me or took advantage of my situation and most of all he never let me lose hope. I am now 37 and still his patient and all I have to say is if your looking for quality care look no further. He and his staff are what every doctors office should aspire to be. Thank you Dr. Rauscher!!!!read more
My wife and I, together with her parents, have been patients of Dr. Rauscher for many, many years. Aside from being a superior physician, Dr. Rauscher is one of the kindest and most compassionate human beings I have ever had the sincere honor and pleasure of knowing. One of the greatest attributes Dr. Rauscher possesses is one to which every physician should aspire...he is an excellent listener. He demonstrates genuine interest in his patients and is extremely patient as well...answering every question and concern with thoughtful care and diligence.I am equally as honored and proud to consider Dr. Rauscher my friend. I trust him with my life and there isn't anyone else I would rather have care for my physical well-being other than him. God Bless you my friend!read more

Dr. Rauscher is an accomplished and commendable surgeon. He performed a highly successful operation on my husband’s ears. When his blood pressure went dangerously high, Dr. Rauscher called my husband’s cardiologist and did not leave his side until his blood pressure went back to normal. That evening he called our home to follow up on his condition and ascertain that all his vital signs were normal. Dr. Rauscher also performed eyelids surgery on me. I am highly pleased with the results and the care he showed for me as a patient. Dr. Rauscher is a caring, thoughtful and skillful person.read more
