Cleft Lip Plastic Surgery Before and After Pictures

Looking at the plastic surgery before and after pictures, you’ll find not just a slight change, but a complete transformation of the face. Astoundingly, this entire surgical procedure can take as little as 45 minutes and provide a sense of self worth and confidence that lasts a lifetime. If you’re seeking a childrens charity that really makes an impact on the quality of a child’s life, take a look at some of the plastic surgery before and after pictures from some of our recent trips. 

We all start out with a cleft lip and cleft palate. It isn’t until several weeks into the pregnancy that the lip and roof of the mouth fuse together for most of us. For children born with a cleft lip and cleft palate, the fusion doesn’t complete for reasons that are still being researched. In developed nations we rarely notice how common this occurrence is because of adequate access to plastic surgery. For those in medically underprivileged countries, childrens charities like Operation Smile are a child’s only hope for a life free of ridicule and social neglect.

You may find it difficult to view the plastic surgery before and after pictures. If so, then you can imagine the needless shame and ostracism that these children live with on a daily basis. In countries with little or no access to modern medicine, deformities of this type are often associated with shameful superstitions. Our childrens charity strives to share the life enhancing benefits of reconstructive plastic surgery with others in less fortunate parts of the world. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make an enormous impact on the life of a child.
