Cleft Lip Scarring After Botox
This study is investigating whether botulinum toxin type A (Botox) can improve scar appearance after cleft lip repair surgery. Cleft lip repair is commonly performed during infancy, but visible scarring can occur as the incision heals. Botox may reduce muscle movement around the surgical site during healing, which could decrease tension on the wound and improve scar formation.
In this study, infants undergoing cleft lip repair will be randomly assigned to receive either Botox or a placebo injection at the time of surgery. Researchers will evaluate scar appearance during follow-up visits over the first year after surgery and will monitor participants for any treatment-related side effects.
The goal of this study is to determine whether Botox is a safe and effective method for improving scar quality following cleft lip repair.
