Safely discharged today.

A complex secondary VPI case with significant posterior gap managed with bilateral buccal flap palatal lengthening — and today, this young patient goes home stable and comfortable.

Behind every successful surgery is a silent, disciplined team.
Anesthesia. Nursing. OT staff. Post-operative care. Speech team.

Precision in theatre.
Vigilance in recovery.
Compassion throughout.

Grateful to my entire team for making challenging cases feel seamless.
Secondary VPI – surgery

A challenging case of asymmetric short soft palate with a posterior velopharyngeal gap >20 mm.

Previously operated with conventional radical levator dissection.
Despite intervention, persistent VPI remained evident on nasoendoscopy six years later.

🔎 Large posterior gap
🔎 Inadequate palatal length
🔎 Speech compromise

Decision: Palatal lengthening with bilateral buccal myomucosal flaps using an ACRP “no-touch” philosophy — respecting prior muscle repair and focusing on length rather than further radical dissection.

Postoperative outcome:
✔ Posterior gap reduced from >20 mm to

Maxillofacial Surgery Services & Evening OP Services

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is a specialized discipline that manages a wide spectrum of conditions involving the face, jaws, oral cavity, and associated structures. This includes dentofacial deformities, facial trauma, infections, oral pathology, TMJ disorders, and comprehensive cleft care.

Early diagnosis and timely intervention remain critical in optimizing both functional and aesthetic outcomes. Structured clinical evaluation, evidence-based surgical protocols, and multidisciplinary coordination form the backbone of effective maxillofacial management.

To improve patient accessibility—particularly for working professionals, students, and referred cases—Evening Outpatient (OP) services are available on Mondays and Fridays from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.

📍 St. Thomas Block – 1st Floor
🏥 Jubilee Mission Medical College & Research Institute

Committed to delivering structured, protocol-driven maxillofacial care with a patient-centered approach.

So happy to see this cute, smart little champ again today 😊

Full of energy.
Full of confidence.
Full of life.

Moments like this remind me why I do what I do.

From tiny milestones to bright smiles, every visit is not just a follow-up — it’s a celebration of growth, courage, and resilience. His sparkle, his curiosity, his unstoppable energy… that’s the real success story.

Children don’t just heal.
They rise. They shine. They inspire. ✨

Grateful to witness this journey.
Smiles like his make every effort worth it.

Some messages stay with you longer than the surgery itself.

Today, this cute photo shared by his parent brought a quiet smile to my heart. To see him glowing with confidence, celebrating his birthday with that beautiful smile — it reminds me why we do what we do.
Cleft lip was operated at 6months and cleft palate at 1year of age ….
Cleft lip and palate repair is not just about surgical precision.
It is about restoring confidence.
It is about giving a child the freedom to smile without hesitation.
It is about turning scars into stories of strength.

From the operating room…
to this bright, joyful birthday picture…
what a journey it has been.

Thank you for remembering me on his special day. That gesture means more than words can express. Being a small part of his story is truly a privilege.

Here’s to many more birthdays filled with laughter, courage, and unstoppable smiles.

Strength Beyond Scars. Always.

From Uncertainty to Unstoppable Smiles ✨

At just 6 months, this little warrior underwent cleft lip repair.
At 1 year of age, cleft palate surgery followed.

Step by step.
Stage by stage.
With patience, precision, and a family that never stopped believing.

Today — what shines brighter than anything else is that beautiful, confident smile.

Cleft care is not a single surgery.
It is a journey of timing, teamwork, trust, and resilience.
It is about restoring function — feeding, speech, growth —
but more importantly, restoring confidence.

Behind every bright smile is:
• A courageous child
• Strong, hopeful parents
• A committed multidisciplinary team

And when all three come together, transformation happens.

This is why we do what we do.

So happy to see my cute little friend today —
those bright eyes, that fearless grin,
and that pure joy that reminds me why this journey matters.

Some smiles are beautiful.
Some smiles are powerful.
And then there are smiles like this — pure, fearless, unstoppable. ✨

Behind every bright smile is courage.
Behind every spark in the eyes is a story.
A story of strength. Of resilience. Of rising beyond circumstances.

This little warrior reminds us of something important —
Life is not measured by the challenges we face,
but by the joy we choose to carry despite them.

In a world that often focuses on scars,
let us focus on strength.
In a world that counts limitations,
let us celebrate possibilities.

Every smile is a victory.
Every child is hope.
Every journey is worth fighting for.
