This comment is dedicated to everyone who has the same facial abnormality and still finds it hard to accept it. I have cleft lip, cleft palate and... microphthalmia, three problems in one person and as a 21 year old woman, you know that beauty in women means a lot. Although, I don't put it down easily even though I had suicidal thoughts in the past, maybe I have them until today but still fighting and fighting. I hope you didn't commit suicide, for people who don't deserve it! I have some advice for you: first of all, when someone asks you about your problem, answer him naturally, don't show him weakness. If they laugh at you, laugh at them for their ugliness inside, or maybe they are outside too, say them that "you without a problem and still ugly, imagine if you had one like me how ugly would you be" and stuff like that. You can also ignore them, the option is yours. The final and last advice is that when your surroundings are toxic (your social circle), change them, move somewhere better. That's what I'm supposed to do in the future. I'm still fighting. Never let go as no-one is perfect, especially inside ugliness is the worst and freakiest of all, trust me....
I only have the cleft lip on my right side, no cleft palate, one of my teeth are completely sideways and I am getting braces and a surgery for it soon, it's going to be so scary and odd after getting my surgery. People at school always asked me what was wrong with my tooth and I never knew how to respond, for awhile I felt ashamed, people would talk about me behind my back sometimes, but I always had friends who treated me like I had normal teeth, and I didn't have a cleft lip. Im nervous to have another surgery (I'll be asleep, duh😂), I have an amazing doctor who performed the same surgery on my older brother who also has/had a cleft, he turned out with a completely different mouth, I trust my surgeon, she's so proud of ALL of her work on me and my brother, she has performed all my surgeries. Wish me luck if you ever see this!❤️
I fell in love with someone who had cleft lip, after multiple facial surgeries he somewhat looks, "Normal" now. And even before I know about his, "deformations", he looked different.... And honestly strange. But it didn't matter to me, he was so beautiful.
I think these children are more beautiful and unique :) My nephew was born with a cleft palate too. Dispite this he is so handsome, intellingent and lovely. These kids need more attention and support!
Agh thank you! I have cleft lip and palate and I'm always worrying if I look okay... at some points I've been really depressed about it. But I don't really care anymore because there's people like you in the world, which i realized a long time ago.
shoot out to all the beautiful kids and people who was born with it , i am one of you , remember that we were born special and i'm pretty sure we've been given a very special talent , all we have to do is search within our selves. cheers to you , with lots of love.
I had a cleft lip and I was really lucky to have an awesome doctor and only had 2 surgeries and it only been a couple years since the last one and others can’t even notice❤️❤️❤️
My little brother was born with this and he had to have a lot of surgery but his cleffe palate wasn't bad now he is five he still has a hard time eating food but we take him to a feeding therapist and he doing fine he has glasses because the pallet effected his eye sight so we have to drive 2 hours to a spwcliest because if eye tissue is thin and when I see old baby pictures and him now it just modes me cry how much he over came
That baby just looks like me.... When I'm 3-4 years old... I had undergone 6-7 surgeries so that's why right now i don't have any scar of it. But my nose is little bit broad due to which i feel uncomfortable.... But I'm happy 😀
i also was born with cleft palate..nd my surgery was done when i was 3 years old..bt this is noticeable ...nd i can't speak properly becoz of this😢😢now i m 19 year
as someone that was born with it emotional (eventhough its far off) at middle school/high school it can tough because people canbe judgmental before they even meet you. Just make sure you are there emotional and they surround themselves with true friends, but physically ive only had amazing experiences with doctors and surgery etc
I had a cleft lip when I was a baby. It’s not a big deal to me or really affects me. My parents told me it was hard for me to talk at first but they just ask me questions like would you like the red shirt or the blue where I had to answer or even start conversation. But after that I was always talking. Some people notice something a little different about me in my lip but it’s hardly noticeable and all I tell them is that I was born with it and they ask no more. Anyway just treat them like their the same and I bet they probably don’t want to think their lips a big deal. All around me every day people act like there’s nothing there. The only problem I have is low confidence sometimes I feel ugly but if you let them know their beautiful in their own way that will mean the world to them. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tristan Tonks I'm from Nepal .My daughter has also same problem she is just 1 month old .I'm so worried about her .I don't know much about this types of problems so please kindly suggest me . I want talk with you personally in Facebook.
so i have a cleft lip and palete and eventhough i have had a lot of surgery its still very noticable because the lining of the lip is fine but the bottom is like half is missing its hard to explain u might be able to see it if u zoom in on my profile pic
Don't worry. Good treatment is available in the modern world. Mainly parents are donot know how to collect breast milk (It is very easy and paintless with the help of electric operated breast milk sucker pump) and feeding. Most of the parents are depends on powder available in the market for feeding. It will be effect baby health. I advise you, please take treatment right time with advasse of good doctor.
