How much does cleft lip and palate surgery cost in Turkey?

The cost of cleft lip and palate surgery depends on factors such as type and width of the cleft, and whether it is one- or two-sided; number of operations and stages needed; need for orthodontic and speech treatment; any associated syndrome or health problems, and is set by the doctor after an examination. Under Turkish rules on the advertising of health services, prices are not published on our site; you can ask the doctor directly when you request an appointment.

Who is the best doctor for cleft lip and palate surgery?

There is no single “best” doctor for everyone. The right doctor for you is experienced in cleft lip and palate surgery, easy to reach, and explains the options clearly. Check whether the doctor lists this treatment on their profile, their specialty (plastic surgeon, ENT specialist), the overall picture of patient reviews and the clinic’s location, and ask for a clear written treatment plan, timeline and cost at the first consultation. For major treatments you have the right to a second opinion. “En İyi Hekim” (Turkish for “best doctor”) is our brand name: we do not rank doctors as “best” and rankings cannot be bought.

What is cleft Lip and Palate Surgery?

Cleft lip and palate are common birth differences that form when the middle of the face does not join in the first weeks of pregnancy. The cleft can be in the lip only, the palate only or both, on one or both sides. A cleft lip is usually noticed on a pregnancy ultrasound; a cleft of the palate only is found by examination after birth. Treatment is not a single operation but a process from birth to the end of adolescence: the lip is usually repaired in the first months and the palate before speech develops, at about 9–18 months. At older ages, bone grafting of the gum cleft, speech operations, nose and lip revisions and orthodontic treatment may be needed. The best results come when a team of a plastic surgeon, ENT specialist, orthodontist, speech and language therapist, paediatrician and, if needed, a geneticist follows the baby together. Because in some babies the cleft can be part of a syndrome, a general assessment is also done.

How is cleft Lip and Palate Surgery done?

Feeding assessment after birth; special bottles and breastfeeding support
Preparation with a nose and lip moulding appliance before surgery if needed (with an orthodontist)
Repair of the lip and nose base under general anaesthesia in the first months
Palate repair before speech develops; ear tubes under the same anaesthetic if there is fluid in the middle ear
Gum bone grafting at school age, speech follow-up and revision operations as needed
