The cleft lip is an oral or, less commonly, labial mucocutaneous fold that extends onto the upper lip and closes the opening of the nostril if the latter is closed. The cleft lip is located closer to the nose than the upper lip of a person. It is also less common on the second lip.
The cleft lip is called cleft lip because it looks like a cleft lip, i.e. creates the impression of a cleft lip, but in medicine the name “cleft lip” refers to a blue plate of the mucous membrane of the buccal area with a triangular and trapezoidal shape. This anomaly represents exclusively women and the deviation occurs most often from birth. Symptoms of the disorder can begin in both children and adults. This pathology does not depend on heredity and is transmitted only after the birth of a child by a woman with Marfan syndrome. In women with abnormalities, typical abnormalities can often be observed in their children.
Physiological deviation in most cases does not in any way affect the development of other organs of the reproductive system, and in general does not pose any threat to health. With this anomaly, a person can live a long and happy life without any restrictions. In addition to physiological deviation, there are several other ways to change the shape of this lip. These include contour plastic surgery, laser lipofilling, and other surgical methods that help women look even more attractive. If you have this problem, then you should not be upset about it. Just seek advice from an experienced doctor.
