Cleft lip and palate repairFrom our partner site on breast cancer, MyBreastCancerNetwork.com.
Most babies heal without complications. The cosmetic result often depends on the severity of the deformity and is usually quite good. Another surgery might be required to correct the scar. Convalescence: The average hospital stay is 5 to 7 days. Complete recovery may take up to 4 weeks. Some children continue to have speech defects after the surgery because of muscle problems in the palate. Speech therapy is then required.
