The repair of the cleft palate (also known as a palatoplasty) is usually done at six to eighteen months of age. Although the child may look normal from the outside, the cleft palate can be seen by looking for a separation in the roof of the child's mouth.
After surgery for cleft palate: 1  Your child may experience more discomfort and pain with cleft palate repair than cleft lip repair. 2  Your child may have nasal congestion. This can be relieved with medication. 3  Your child may stay in the hospital for one to three days and will be given antibiotics to prevent infection.
