Understanding Adult Cleft Lip and Palate Challenges
While many cleft conditions are treated in childhood, some individuals grow into adulthood without full correction - or experience residual issues after initial surgeries.
Common challenges include:
- Visible lip or nasal deformity
- Speech difficulties or nasal tone
- Dental misalignment or bite problems
- Scarring or asymmetry
- Difficulty eating or swallowing
- Low self-confidence due to facial differences
At Face Surge, we take a comprehensive approach to assess the soft tissue, bone structure, and overall facial balance before planning surgery.

1. Is it too late to get cleft lip or palate surgery as an adult?
Not at all. Many adults who missed surgery in childhood or have residual issues can still benefit greatly from cleft correction. At Face Surge, Siliguri, we provide specialized procedures for adults to improve appearance, speech, and function.
2. What issues can be fixed through adult cleft surgery?
We can address:
- Visible lip or nasal deformities

- Scarring from previous surgeries
- Psychological impact and low confidence
Every case is assessed individually to create the right solution.
3. HHow is adult cleft surgery different from childhood procedures?
Adult surgeries may be more complex due to fully developed bones and scar tissue from earlier procedures (if any). However, with advanced techniques, adults can still achieve excellent cosmetic and functional results.
4. Will I need multiple surgeries?
It depends on the severity and type of residual deformity. Some patients need only minor revisions, while others may require staged treatment involving bone grafts, jaw correction, or nasal reconstruction. We explain every step during your consultation.
