Many options: I would start by making an appointment at a nearby university with a plastic and reconstructive surgery service. I don't see any problems obtaining funding for the surgery. The surgeon and case managers will help guide you through the necessary steps.

Local Cleft Team: Ask the team coordinator of your local cleft team for help with this. If you need to find the local teams, go to cleftline.Org and look for teams.
