A cleft, typically referring to a cleft lip or cleft palate, appears as a noticeable gap or opening in the upper lip and/or the roof of the mouth. A cleft lip may range from a small notch to a significant separation that extends into the nose, while a cleft palate involves a split in the oral cavity that can affect the hard and/or soft palate. These conditions can vary in severity and may be unilateral (one side) or bilateral (both sides). Clefts can impact feeding, speech, and overall facial aesthetics, but they are treatable through surgical intervention.

What does it mean when your lip is going up your nose?

It's called "cleft lip." I doubt that your lip is actually going up your nose, but it does look like it for sure. Some people are born with it and there's a program called "Operation Smile" where doctars are able to give those cleft-lipped people the surgery that will get rid of the deformity and make them look like normal people.
