Cleft Lip & Palate Reconstruction

Cleft lip and palate are some of the most common birth defects in the United States.

Dr. Kumar is a pioneer in the cleft lip, nose, and palate field. For two decades, Dr. Kumar has been caring for children and adults who need cleft reconstruction.

If you are expecting, or you have a baby that has been diagnosed with a cleft lip or palate, you can begin preparing immediately.

Secondary cleft procedures include:

  • Pharyngeal flap

  • Spinchteroplasty

  • Fat grafting to the lip

  • Palate fistula repairs

  • Bone grafting (alloplastic/autologous)
