Cleft Palate Surgery

 639. <Cleft Palate Surgery>

Cleft palate repair is a reconstructive procedure for treating congenital craniofacial deformities caused by failure of the palatal shelves to fuse during weeks 6–10 of fetal development. It may involve the hard palate, soft palate, or both. Submucous cleft palate appears intact externally but has internal muscular defects.

Why does this happen? Exposure to harmful substances—categorized as wave, gas, liquid, or solid forms—can disrupt fetal development.

Wave-type (Stress): Chronic maternal stress sends conflicting brain waves from the cortex (logic) and limbic system (emotion). Repeated internal conflict—wanting to act but being emotionally blocked, or emotionally driven yet restricted by logic—creates stress that diverts maternal energy away from the fetus, reducing facial blood flow.

Gas-type: Prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke, air pollutants, microplastics, or cooking fumes during pregnancy can harm fetal craniofacial development.

Liquid-type: Frequent intake of alcohol, sugary sodas, or drinks containing artificial additives (e.g., aspartame, benzoates, artificial dyes) causes maternal insulin resistance and metabolic stress, lowering the quality of oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus.

Solid-type: Use of anticonvulsants, chemotherapy, anticoagulants, or excessive intake of vitamin A derivatives (e.g., isotretinoin) can pass through the placenta and interfere with fetal morphogenesis, increasing the risk of cleft formation.

Prevention starts early. Even before conception, mothers should detox from these exposures through daily sweating, deep sleep, and melatonin-supported nighttime lymphatic cleansing.

Cleft palate surgery restores normal speech, allows proper feeding, and enables healthy dental and jaw development. Surgery typically begins at 9–18 months, followed by bone grafting (age 6–10), orthodontics, and reconstructive stages.
