What is Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery?
Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery is a corrective operation that closes the gap in the upper lip and/or the roof of the mouth. The gap may affect feeding, speech and confidence. The surgery is usually performed by a specialist oral surgeon or a maxillofacial team when the child is a few months old, but later correction is also possible. In Bangladesh, families seek this treatment to give children a normal smile and better health.
Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery cost in Bangladesh
When you type “Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery cost in Bangladesh” into a search engine, you will see a range of prices. In 2026 the typical cost falls between 250,000 BDT and 450,000 BDT. The lower end reflects standard hospital fees in Dhaka or Chittagong with basic sutures, while the higher end includes premium materials, advanced imaging and care at top‑tier private hospitals. Prices vary by city, clinic reputation and the complexity of the cleft.
What does the surgery involve?
The procedure starts with a thorough examination and imaging. Under general anesthesia, the surgeon realigns the lip and palate tissues, closes the gap and may place small plates or sutures to support healing. The operation usually lasts one to two hours, followed by a short recovery stay. Post‑operative care includes a soft diet, gentle oral hygiene and regular follow‑up visits to monitor healing and speech development.
Recovery, aftercare and finding help
Most children recover within a week, but full healing can take several months. Parents should watch for swelling, fever or any signs of infection and contact the surgeon promptly. Good nutrition and gentle mouth rinses help the tissue heal faster. To locate qualified surgeons, you can find dentists in Bangladesh or compare dental clinics near you.
