Specialized Expertise in Pediatric Reconstructive Surgery Treatments
Our pediatric plastic surgeons are experienced in using a cosmetic reconstructive surgical procedure called "tissue expansion" to treat specific pediatric conditions such as birth defects.
What is tissue expansion?
It is a surgical procedure that enables the body to make extra skin to help reconstruct almost any part of the body.
How it works:
A silicone balloon expander is inserted under the skin near the area to be repaired and then gradually filled with salt water over time, causing the skin to stretch and grow. Commonly used for breast reconstruction following breast removal, the procedure is also used to repair skin damaged by birth defects, accidents or surgery.
