Daniel Bayas Age 4 weeks
Daniel Bayas Age 2 years
Daniel, from Riobamba, Ecuador is the youngest child we ever operated upon for a cleft lip deformity
A preoperative and post operative
cleft palate child. A remarkable finding 
after following so many of our patients
for so many years is that as they get
older, they regard their palate repair more 
important because they are able to 
communicate in society, attend church 
and maintain a job.
