If you would like to have the surgery in Qatar, the surgeon I mentioned visits a clinic in Qatar as a visiting consultant. Also he could give you recommendation about the best doctor to do the procedure in Qatar itself as he is familiar with the people of his trade in Qatar. But I cannot speak on his behalf, all I can do is put you in touch with him so you can decide for your own.

If you can make the journey to India,there is a world famous maxfac. trauma unit in the southern state of Karnataka that is supported by Smile Train NewYork, please check this link http://www.smiletrainindia.org/treatment_centers.php

The surgery cost will be minimal as the unit receives funding from Smile Train for the surgeries.

Furthermore,as with any surgery,experience is what counts more than anything else & having done a year's residency @ the unit myself,i can tell you,those guys can do this blindfolded,there are two OT's & they do at least 4 corrective surgeries a day,as there are patients coming in from all over India.

Versi suggested Saudi which would be much more convenient in terms of travel as it is next door but i don't know how much experience that surgeon would have compared to the ones i mentioned as thsse guys are doing it day in day out,everyday.

Rest assured,wherever you decide to go,as Versi correctly mentioned,this type of condition is easily corrected surgically...good luck.

You need to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon

If you would like, I know a very good one in Saudi who you can guide you, pls send me a message to discuss in more detail

My wife is a dentist and she says that nowadays the treatment for this can be managed easily depending on the degree of the cleft
