Briana's Beautiful Smile: Overcoming an Oral Cleft Lip and Palate 

I was born with a cleft lip and palate and growing up wasn’t easy. I was constantly getting made fun of for my speech, nose, and mouth by peers and strangers. So, watching this is amazing and heartfelt. ❤

I was born with cleft lip and palate and I would say the only real problem i have with it is looks, im decently attractive as is, i have a girlfriend and im popular at school, its just that insecurity of my lip, nose, and underbite. But everything aside from that is completely fine, i dont have many surgeries, but when i do i always come out fine. Basically im trying to tell others who are like me and have cleft lip/palate, that you shouldnt let the lip and shit get to you. Just be confident about yourself, and nothing can get to you. I let it make me insecure for years, but once i started realizing it didnt matter, EVERYTHING took a complete turn for the better.

my best friend was adopted from a small country in asia, on the verge of death from starvation, had a cleft lip, and was abandoned by her birth parents, and now she’s a beautiful woman who’s smart and amazing, couldn’t be more proud

As someone with a cleft palate. I don’t feel lonely after watching this.

i was born with bilateral cleft lip and palate and it's so hard... im about to have a second jaw surgery done to correct my under bite on Wednesday. im a ball of emotions right now, but excited definitely.

it's really hard for me to deal with speech problem for my whole life...people hardly understand what im saying, so it affect my social skills. i rarely made friends, as im not talking much. im mentally weak, and the anxiety of thinking what will i go through the next days...i need speech treatment, but looks like it's too late already, im about to be an adult i wish i can talk freely like everyone else..and be my true self without feeling afraid to talk... Edit:All the replies makes me cry...Yall are good and amazing people 🥺 Thank you so much!!

Hi Briana😇you are very beautiful girl. I have cleft lip and palate like you

I want be this way. Not anything I am willing. Before I die I must do this operations.

she’s cute

My situation is different I have a cleft lip caused by amniotic band syndrome, amniotic band syndrome is very rare already but it’s more uncommon to have a band or more latch on your face so not only do I have a cleft lip that is slightly less relatable than others But I also have fingers and toes harmed from amniotic bands. I’m almost 14 but as I have grown more I have learned more things, how humans react, how I am unable to find others with this struggle, how students study what I have grown into for a successful career there’s so much to this little body that wasn’t supposed to make it, a lot comes with it and I know it’s the same for everyone but I have a different view. I genuinely wonder what I’d be like if I weren’t born with my differences- would I be more successful in school? Could I go outside without the worry of judgement? I don’t know and I know I won’t know what that’s like When covid happened and everyone had to wear masks I found that I could hide my differences, I was able to hide my hand with my sleeve too, and nobody knew that I was different besides childhood friends, it started off as a normal thing then as a “oh this is a chance” then to me slowly going crazy As my features were hidden I got more attention and I learned that I hated that, I lived a small bit of the view that other people got and it made me feel guilty that the new people I met didn’t really know me, I was only able to tell one person in that whole school of my features and they accepted me (💗) But I am still too scared All these different things I deal with are slowly sending me to psychological distress, like, Is this all just a test to see how far someone like me will go? Does that sound crazy? I don’t know but I don’t like it very much I wonder If I was somewhat normal if I’d be dissociating or depressed But I honestly don’t want to die, I do want to see how far I’ll go even if I don’t like the majority of this life I will still try my best and my cats would be sad

But you know you get Laszer in your scare to take off

I'm 22 now can i fix my nose ?
