Early Life:

Mia Robertson was born on September 12, 2003, with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. While still in Missy’s womb, Mia was diagnosed with a cleft lip and possible cleft palate. Following the birth of her daughter, Missy took Mia to the International Craniofacial Institute in Dallas, Texas, when she was just 17 days old. During her time in Dallas, Mia was fitted with a palatal appliance that gave a fake roof to her mouth.

Battling with surgeries:

After Mia was strong enough to undergo her first surgery, she was enrolled at the hospital. At just 3 months old, Mia underwent her first corrective surgery. As the scars of her first surgery began to fade, Mia had to get ready for her second surgery. At 7 months old, Mia underwent palate correction surgery which gave her a natural palate. In need of much care and attention, Mia accompanied her mother to work at The Duck Commander and was a constant source of joy for the Robertson family.

At 5 years old, Mia underwent a second lip correction surgery to straighten the lip from her last 5 years of growth. While still in surgery, the doctors noticed that Mia’s nasal passages had begun to collapse due to scar tissue from the first surgery. The doctors decided to operate around the nose area and Mia was required to wear a nose stint for a few weeks to open and stabilize her nasal passages.

At the age of she had her fourth surgery in 2012 when she had a bone graft surgery which was essential to add bone to the cleft in her upper jaw where there was no bone, to begin with. But during her routine checkup, it was found that a large amount of scar tissue from her previous surgeries had ensured that her upper jaw had not grown at the same rate as her lower jaw, which caused an underbite of 15 mm. After using a special headgear for 12-18 months, Mia was ready for the bone graft surgery which was successful. In total Mia has undergone 14 surgeries and had several minor surgeries between her fourth and fourteenth surgeries. 

Mia had her fourteenth surgery in July 2022, when she was 18 years old. This surgery was to remove some hardware from her mouth that she no longer needed. She also had some cosmetic work done on her lip and nose to make them look more symmetrical.

Proud Parents:

Mia has been brave and resilient throughout all her surgeries. She has also been an inspiration to many people who have similar conditions or face other challenges in life. She has a foundation called Mia Moo Fund that helps other children with cleft lip and palate which Missy and Jase started following her fifth surgery. Talking about the foundation, Missy revealed,

“The reason Jase and I started it was because we’re able to bring attention to this diagnosis. Before, it had so much of a stigma because it is about the face and it is a facial deformity. People kind of don’t want to talk about it or they just don’t know much about it, and we wanted to bring Mia’s face to this because we think she’s beautiful.”
