Now you are an adult, and not in the system, you can still pursue further medical treatments yourself. It’s at this time you may decide you require some further support – if so, you can self-refer back to your local cleft clinic.

Possible Options

• Cosmetic surgery could be used to further refine your appearance 

• You may want to discuss starting your own family with a geneticist

• Dental work may be required

• A Speech Language Therapist could help you with any speech issues

• You may need to talk to someone about how you feel about yourself

Please refer to our Cleft Clinic list.
