The main activity in plastic surgery is the correction of congenital cleft lip and palate. The latter condition is the most frequent congenital facial defect and occurs in approximately 1/2000 births in Belgium. Almost all patients with cleft lip and / or palate are operated on at a very young age in Belgium. The lip usually closes around the 4th to 6th month, while the palate closes around 1.5 years.
