Dermal Filler Cleft Lip Treatment

7th June 2023

A cleft lip is an oral malformation that occurs early in pregnancy, and results in a physical split between the two sides of the upper lip. The separation can extend beyond the base of the nose to include the upper jaw and gum, and this is called a cleft palate.

This is a fairly common congenital problem that around 1 in every 700 children in the UK are born with, and it can usually be easily fixed with surgery. However, the corrective surgical procedure can cause scarring and an irregular appearance, which can sometimes be improved with a dermal filler cleft lip treatment.
