Frequently Asked Questions
Craniofacial surgery is a specialized field of surgery focused on correcting congenital or acquired anomalies affecting the skull, face, head, and neck. It includes procedures to address conditions like cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, facial asymmetry, and complex skull deformities.
You should consider seeing a craniofacial surgeon if you or your child have congenital craniofacial anomalies, facial trauma resulting in deformities, or require corrective surgeries for complex skull abnormalities. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.
Craniofacial surgery treats a wide range of conditions including cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis (premature fusion of skull bones), facial asymmetry, craniofacial tumors, facial fractures, and congenital skull and facial deformities.
A craniofacial surgeon leads the surgical team, which typically includes orthodontists, speech therapists, geneticists, pediatricians, and other specialists. This multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care and optimal outcomes.
During a consultation, the craniofacial surgeon will evaluate the condition, discuss treatment options, and create a personalized treatment plan. They will explain the procedure, potential risks, expected outcomes, and answer any questions you may have.
Recovery varies depending on the complexity of the surgery. It may involve pain management, monitoring for complications, and follow-up visits to assess healing and progress. The surgeon and their team will provide specific post-operative care instructions tailored to your needs.
Recovery time varies based on the procedure performed and individual healing abilities. Some patients may recover within a few weeks, while others may require several months for complete recovery and optimal results.
