Born with a Cleft Palate — My Moustache Has a Gap
I was born with a bi-lateral cleft pallet and althought I am able to grow a decnt looking mustache and goatee, I am unable to grow hair on the area directly under my nose, which causes a gap and my mustache cannot connect straight across. My whole reason for growing out my facial hair is to hide my scar from the cleft pallet and also to hide the lack of “fullness,” of my upper lip when I am seen from a profile standpoint. Is there anything that I can do to facilitate the growth of the hair in that area so that my mustache will connect? If you have any suggestions and/or ideas as to how to correct this please let me know. Thanks
This is a great application for a hair transplant into the moustache scar. It may take two sessions to get the fullness you want. We have transplanted quite a few people born with a cleft lip and palate.
