Pediatric Plastic Surgery
Pediatric plastic surgeons at St. Louis Children’s Hospital perform kid-focused reconstructive and plastic surgery. We address issues children are born with (known as congenital issues), as well as changes children and adolescents want to make to improve their quality of life.
Our plastic surgeons are committed to creating treatment plans tailored to your child’s needs and goals. To do this, we work with you to understand the full picture of your child’s activities, environment and needs. Our surgeons consider you and your child to be key partners in our care team.
