Hello,
I suppose that you are saying about cleft palate surgery.Cleft palate is a defect in the roof of the mouth in which there is no separation between the nose and roof of mouth.Surgery is the only answer to this and as with all surgical procedures,it is also associated with risks and after effects.But When surgery is done by a qualified plastic surgeon with experience in repairing cleft lip or palate, the results can be quite positive.

I suggest you to talk in detail with the operating surgeon so as to be relieved of any apprehensions.

Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
