Is it okay to have upper lip lip surgery after 3 months and 17 days?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, there was a 0.19cm cleft lip. Now the baby is 3 months and 17 days old. Is it possible to have the cleft lip surgery? How many times is it recommended? What is the approximate cost?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, in the case of a general bilateral cleft lip, the best time for surgery is around 6 to 12 months. Generally speaking, after cleft lip surgery, it will not affect the child's future speech and pronunciation. We recommend that you have the cleft lip surgery performed at a large, reputable dental hospital or a children's hospital.
The causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease are numerous. If your child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
