“I think cleft, especially cleft palate, is very misunderstood. A lot of people think it’s a one operation fix all."
“People can be a bit surprised when they realise all the other stuff it affects."

What is a cleft? 💙
In early pregnancy, different parts of the face form and then join together in the middle. Most people have a little dip above their top lip where this happens.
For one in every 700 babies, the different parts don’t join together all the way.
