Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Craniofacial/Peds

Craniofacial/pediatric surgery involves the correction of congenital and acquired deformities of the skull, face, and jaw in children. Conditions treated include craniosynostosis, cleft lip and palate, and facial asymmetries. These surgeries are complex due to the delicate and growing tissues of young patients, requiring precision to ensure normal development and function. Surgeons must consider the psychological impact, aiming for both functional and aesthetic outcomes. Multidisciplinary care is often essential, involving neurosurgeons, orthodontists, and other specialists to address the unique needs of each child.
