Pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgeries we specialize in

Craniofacial Surgery

We offer specialized surgical procedures to correct skull shape abnormalities in children, including craniosynostosis, congenital and acquired dysmorphic craniofacial abnormalities, and jaw abnormalities.

Cleft lip and palate surgery

We provide specialized surgical intervention and care for children with orofacial clefting conditions such as cleft lip, palate, and jaw.

Facial palsy reanimation surgery

Facial palsy is a weakness in your facial muscles, usually as a result of the facial nerve being damaged. This nerve sends signals to your muscles to tell them to function, but when it doesn’t work properly or is missing, parts of the face may become paralyzed. This can affect the movement of your eyes, mouth, and other areas. With the help of surgery, we can help children with facial palsy improve the movement, appearance, and balance of their face, bringing back their smile and confidence.

Oculoplastic surgery

We offer oculoplastic surgery procedures to effectively treat conditions of the eye socket, eyelids, tear ducts, and the face, as well as reconstructive surgery for the eye and the surrounding structures.

Congenital hand surgery

Congenital hand anomalies are a condition that a child is born with, and they can range from mild differences, like unequal fingers, to more serious issues, such as the absence of a bone. These can challenge your child’s growth and development, and our caring team is here to guide you on the best treatment option. This can include reconstructive surgery or prosthetic devices to help improve function and enhance your child’s quality of life.

Brachial plexus surgery

The brachial plexus is a complex network of nerves between the neck and shoulders which control muscle function in the chest, shoulder, arms and hands. We surgically treat children who have injured their brachial plexus, and may have lost muscle function or sensation as a result, so that they are able to get back to their daily activities as quickly as possible.

Reconstructive burn surgery

Your child suffering a burn injury is extremely upsetting and stressful, and we're here to provide specialised pediatric reconstructive burn surgery for all degrees of burns. We perform surgery to help make scars less noticeable, and also ensure that maximum range of motion and function is restored.
