Is there any possibilities that upper lip of the baby is not yet fully develop at 24 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If a sonogram is showing a cleft lip or cleft palate then surgery will be needed after delivery to correct it. This far along it will not continue to develop in utero. These corrective surgeries have come along way. Now it is one of the most successful surgeries done for children.
