Pediatric surgeons used technology including 3D models to aid in surgical planning to separate conjoined twins.
Our pediatric plastic surgeons have extensive experience treating the full spectrum of plastic surgical problems in pediatric and adolescent patients — from the common to the extremely rare.
If your child needs surgery to correct a deformity caused by a birth defect, injury, illness, or tumor, our pediatric plastic surgeons have the experience and qualifications to provide treatment.
