Children are delightful and incredibly resilient patients.
I have always found the treatment of children with congenital or aquired deformities to be one of the most satisfying aspects of plastic surgery.
I deal specifically with cleft and craniofacial deformities primarily through my public practice at Middlemore Hospital. We see patients referred from our region as well as nation-wide and work closely with other paediatric experts such as neurosurgeons and ENT surgeons when required. My special areas of interest are:
Birthmarks and vascular anomalies
Scar revision
Cleft Lip and Palate
Congenital Craniofacial Deformities such as craniosynostosis
Facial Palsy (in children and adults)
Your child can be seen on referral from your GP or specialist (if from out-of-area) and please feel free to email if you have questions about your child's condition or treatment.
