CONGENİTAL ANOMALIES
Congenital anomalies related to superficial organs are mostly corrected by plastic surgeons. Among the congenital anomalies related to aesthetic surgery, hand-finger problems, cleft palate-lip deformity, ear development disorders, vascular masses (hemajoma) are among the most common. If congenital anomalies occur in a way that does not impair function, it is usually applied when the child reaches the age and weight to receive anesthesia. However, it was important to repair the problems that caused the dysfunction in the early months.

Physiotherapy treatments to be performed in experienced hands after such surgeries are also important in terms of restoration of function.
Cleft palate-lip deformity
Cleft palate-lip deformity may occur together or separately. While lip repair can be applied from the 3rd month, cleft palate deformity is usually applied after the 1st year. It is important for the function to repair the palate before the child starts to speak. Multidisciplinary approach is very important in such congenital problems. In the child followed up immediately after birth Dentists nasoalveolar molding, surgeons lip and palate repair, audiologists speech therapy, dietitians nutrition planning, ENT specialists should be involved in the treatment of many units to solve possible ear problems. According to the severity of the deformity at adult ages It should not be forgotten that orthodontic treatments and nasal repairs may be required.
Hemangioma
It is the most common benign skin tumor occurring in newborns. Hemangiomas that occur as a result of developmental anomalies of blood vessels begin to be seen at birth or within the first weeks. It continues to grow throughout childhood. Classically, at the age of 7, 70% completely disappear.
