Effective Cleft Lip & Palate Repair at Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery

Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery center in Houston, Texas offers effective reconstructive procedures for cleft lip & palate repair.  

Dr Sean Boutros, who heads this surgical practice, is an expert in cleft palate and cleft lip surgery. A congenital condition affecting the upper lip and roof of the mouth, a cleft palate can result in loss of separation of oral and nasal cavities. Dr Boutros can set right this deformity as well as facial disfigurements caused by unilateral and bilateral cleft lip conditions.

Cleft palate may or may not occur with cleft lip. Cleft palate repair usually offers optimal results when performed in the earlier stages of infancy as this helps avoid issues such as speech abnormality, psychological trauma and impaired hearing. At this surgical center, the procedure is performed to offer all these benefits as well as a more normal appearance by restoring or improving child’s speaking, hearing and breathing faculties.

Dr. Boutros performs result-oriented plastic surgery for cleft lip & palate using the nasal alveolar molding (NAM) technique. This technique offers many benefits:
 
•Accurate repair of cleft lip by bringing the edges closer
•Nasal deformity correction for a natural looking nose
•Cleft palate correction by repositioning the alveolar ridges and restoring normal anatomic alignment

The duration of the molding procedure varies depending on the severity of the condition which may differ among patients.

The mission statement of Dr Sean Boutros is “Excellence in treatment with compassion of care”. True to this, cleft palate and cleft lip surgery at this surgical center is helping children lead a normal and carefree life. Dr Boutros also aspires to provide services for children with facial disfigurements without considering financial resources.

Besides cleft lip & palate repair, this plastic surgery center also provides various aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, all with minimal complications and outstanding results. Credit cards are accepted and credit care financing is also available.
