UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team provides treatment for all acquired and congenital deformities.

At UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, our goal is to help your child look and feel as normal as possible when he or she enters school. We understand a facial deformity can be emotionally and socially devastating for anyone, particularly children. Lead by Dr. Arun Gosain, MD, our highly respected team offers advanced treatment options and compassionate, comprehensive care for children and their families.

From tissue expansion and facial re-animation to treatment of complex cranial malformations, we take a multi-disciplinary approach to treating your child. Our Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery unit is divided into four areas of expertise:

• General pediatric plastic surgery
• Cleft lip and palate
• Cranio-facial anomalies
• Vascular anomalies

Specialists in each area work with each other, as well as the other divisions of UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, to ensure your child receives the most comprehensive care possible. Some of the advanced techniques and treatments we offer are:

• Tissue expansion to resurface large skin lesions
• Microsurgical reanimation for facial paralysis
• Pre-surgical orthopaedics in preparation for cleft lip repair
• Bone fixation using absorbable plates and screws
• Bone distraction for facial skeleton disorders
• Collaboration with Interventional Radiology to prepare for surgical treatment of vascular tumors
