I have had NUMEROUS surgeries starting from when i was under a year till now. I had my last one when i was 17. In total I've had more than 10 surgeries. I personally define a surgery a procedure during which i was under anesthetic. The surgeons are apparently quite happy with the results and im, lets just say apathetic.

I had 13 plastic surgries to correct my birth defect. Overall, they were very successful. I was lucky in the fact that I did not have many problems with speech or hearing. I did need braces on my teeth at two differnt times in my life. (First, as a preteen 11 - 18 years old, then a second time as an adult 23 - 28 years old).

I have had the cleft lip and palate all sorted out, and apart from the scar going keliod and raised it's fine...
Had a bone graph from my hip to my mouth but it didn't take... no problems with that as yet... just have a detachable false tooth instead of an implant!
