| Removal of skin lesions
Many children need to have small skin lesions removed either for diagnosis or to remove a troublesome and irritating lesion. |
Birth Marks
Birthmarks are coloured marks that form on or just below the surface of the skin. There are several commonly found types of birthmarks. |
Haemangiomas
Haemangiomas or strawberry naevi often appear on the skin as a bright red mark. Usually they appear shortly after birth within the first month of life and then increase in size quite quickly. |
| Vascular anomalies
Vascular malformations, like haemangiomas, are abnormalities of blood vessels. |
Tissue expansion
Tissue expansion is a method of creating extra skin so that it can be used to repair damaged or abnormal tissue. |
Prominent ears
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set back prominent ears. |
| Facial deformities
Facial deformities in children are usually the result of birth defects although occasionally can be caused by trauma or as the result of treatment for childhood tumours. |
Hemifacial microsmia
Hemifacial microsomia is the second most common congenital facial anomaly after cleft lip and palate. |
Plagiocephaly
This is a disorder that affects the skull, making the back or side of your baby’s head appear flattened. It is sometimes called ‘deformational plagiocephaly’. |
| Craniofacial surgery
The speciality of craniofacial surgery is involved with the treatment of facial deformities arising from birth defects or trauma as well as a number of acquired conditions. |
Gynaecomastia
Breast development in boys during puberty is quite common. The condition is called gynaecomastia. Firm breast tissue grows underneath the nipples and in severe cases this can become very noticeable. |
