Kids who have had surgery for cleft lip/palate seem to have less visible scars than those done a generation ago.
How exactly have surgery methods improved?

As someone who was born with a cleft palate and age 36, mine looks good. you can tell something is off, but i notice it more than others do. i don’t go around following plastic surgeries of clefts, but i’m curious how much better it would have been had I been born today
