How to repair a depressed hare lip scar

Depressed scars caused by hare lip are mainly repaired through surgical procedures in the early stages, while in the later stages, they need to be repaired through cosmetic surgery. The hare lip, also known as cleft lip and palate, is a relatively common congenital deformity that requires timely and effective treatment as it seriously affects aesthetics. Cleft lip surgery is usually performed around 3 to 6 months after birth, and can be delayed for bilateral cleft lips and palates. In older cleft lip and palate patients, cleft lip repair requires both correction of secondary deformities of the cleft lip and palate as well as orbicularis oris muscle repositioning. Performing the reconstructive surgery is usually required to be done before school age to avoid psychological impact on the child. Consult your local healthcare provider or cosmetic center for details.
