Cleft lip and palate repair surgery helps to restore function to the lips and mouth. The required procedures for each patient depend on the severity and placement of the deformity.
In addition to treating his own patients, Dr. Baumgartner travels to Mexico, Haiti and the Dominican Republic each year to treat young children with facial deformities. He works tirelessly to reconstruct the normal anatomy and function of the lip and nasal passage. These procedures also repair the floor of the nose and properly align the maxillary segments (gum line).
