Pediatric plastic surgeons at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital assess and treat patients with birth defects such as a cleft lip and palate, developmental abnormalities and acquired problems, including those affecting the head, face and hands.

Working with other specialists such as dentists, social workers, speech pathologists and dermatologists, we provide comprehensive treatment for conditions that not only affect a child's appearance, but also their ability to function both physically and socially.
