Cleft Lips
It can occur unilaterally or bilaterally. It is detected by ultrasonography in the womb. It is treated surgically in the first 3 months after birth. Thanks to the satisfactory results, the birth of these children does not worry us anymore.
Cleft Palate
Due to the clefts in the hard or soft palate, the nasal and oral cavities are united. If these spaces are not separated, what the child eats and drinks comes out of his nose, and nasal secretions flow directly into the mouth and throat areas, causing infection. Ear infections are quite common. Separation of the oral and nasal cavities is done surgically by building a wall of tissues in between. Speech disorder and difficulty in swallowing are also observed along with this functionally important anomaly. This surgery must be performed before the age of 1 to avoid affecting speech. It may be necessary to perform additional throat surgery in children with speech disorders.
Congenital Nevus
These spots called 'moles', which are noticed at birth, can be raised, brown-black and hairy. These lesions need to be closely monitored and removed to prevent them from turning into other malignant tumors. Aesthetic results can be obtained by using techniques that will not be visible with minimal scarring.
Hemangioma, Vascular Malformation and Vascular Origin Tumor Formations
Some structures that may be raised on the face and appear red-purple from the outside, involving different tissues, are congenital. From now on, or later, it can be seen on children's entire body, but especially on their face. These may be superficial or deep-seated. It distorts the shape of tissues and creates anomalies. Drug therapy, vascular occlusion method Such structures are removed with advanced and surgical techniques. The face shape or that part of the body is shaped to obtain aesthetic results.
Hand Anomalies
Conjoined fingers, extra finger formation and Other congenital hand deformities and anomalies are also corrected using various methods. These anomalies, which cause functional impairment in addition to aesthetic appearance, need to be corrected at an early age. Otherwise, hand functions cannot reach the desired level in older ages.
Absence of Ear
Part or all of the ear may not be formed at birth. Depending on the state of ear development, ear reconstruction can be performed using tissues in the area or rib cartilages. There are surgical solutions depending on the condition of the ear, using single or 2-sense methods. It is necessary to perform these surgeries and get rid of this situation before the psychological effects of the child's awareness appear at the age of 6.
Prominent Ear
It is the most common ear anomaly. It also has various types and subgroups. If the normal posture and position of the ear is ensured by creating ear folds before school age, it is possible to attract the attention of the child and his/her environment from this area.
