expert care for children who need plastic surgery

Dayton Children’s provides comprehensive pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgery care for babies, children and adolescents. Some therapies are very straightforward, such as a surgical repair for a dog bite. Others are complex and require a team of specialists.

Among the conditions our plastic and reconstructive surgeons treat are:

• Burns requiring debridement, grafts, etc.
• Cleft lip and cleft palate
• Conditions requiring breast reduction, reconstruction, etc.
• Congenital hand malformations, such as webbed or absent fingers
• Complex wounds
• Conditions requiring cranial vault surgery, such as those associated with flat-head syndrome (positional plagiocephaly/torticollis), synostosis syndromes and others
• Craniofacial malformations requiring distraction surgery (surgery to lengthen and shape bones in the skull)
• Ear malformations requiring total reconstruction
• Facial lacerations and fractures
• Traumatic injuries to the hand (injuries to tendons, nerves and skin)
• Other problems associated with the hand, such as cysts, missing digits and trigger digits
• Vascular malformations and tumors
• Port wine stains
• Malignant tumors (surgical removal with limb salvage)
• Nasal malformations
• Cysts, tumors, moles and other growths within soft tissue
• Pierre Robin sequence
