Conditions We Treat
We treat a full range of conditions requiring pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgery. Read about some of our programs below, or learn more about the range of conditions we treat.
Craniofacial and Cleft Lip or Palate Surgery
Our pediatric plastic surgeons treat many craniofacial abnormalities. This includes cleft lip, cleft palate, craniosynostosis, hemifacial macrosomia, deformational or positional plagiocephaly and more.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgeries can treat misaligned jaws and teeth, such as over bites, under bites, open bites, and other skeletal or dental abnormalities. The craniofacial and plastic surgeons at Johns Hopkins All Children’s bring expertise in planning each patient’s treatment to achieve functional and aesthetic outcomes tailored to your child’s needs.
Vascular Anomalies
Vascular anomalies can refer to a wide variety of issues, including infantile hemangiomas (which may disappear on their own) benign tumors, birth marks, and malformations of blood vessels. Some of these conditions require medications, surgery, or interventional radiology to for treatment. Our vascular anomalies team members are committed to providing specialized care for your child.
Prenatal Counseling
Craniofacial conditions are now commonly diagnosed before a child is born. Our pediatric plastic surgeons are happy to meet with expecting parents when a diagnosis of a craniofacial condition is made to help you understand what to expect when your baby is born.
