Comprehensive care for your child

At Wellstar Pediatric Plastic Surgery, caring for your child is our top priority. Whether it’s a general procedure or a complex reconstructive surgery, we focus on your child’s well-being. Our passionate and dedicated team will support you and your family at every step. From birth through young adulthood, we provide advanced, compassionate surgical care.

Expertise in pediatric plastic surgery

Your child is in the expert hands of a highly experienced team. Together, we have over 20 years of expertise in pediatric plastic surgery at Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Georgia and our location at Lake Oconee. Our nationally and internationally recognized experts include surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists and certified surgical nurses. We make sure your child receives the highest level of care.

If your child needs specialized care for ear, nose and throat (ENT) conditions, our pediatric ENT surgery team offers comprehensive services from board-certified and fellowship-trained experts. We also have the only Cleft and Craniofacial Center in the region. We provide advanced treatment for cleft lip, palate and other craniofacial conditions.

Patient- and family-centered care is central to our approach. We do everything possible to make your child’s experience with us comfortable and positive. We involve families in every step of the process. This improves outcomes and creates a more supportive environment for your child.

Our Child Life Specialists ease your child’s anxiety and help them understand their treatment. These professionals provide emotional support and engage your child in activities that make the hospital experience easier to understand and less scary.

Pediatric cleft and craniofacial surgery

We provide specialized surgeries if your child has a cleft palate, cleft lip or a craniofacial condition. Our expert team cares for children from birth through age 21 and includes pediatric plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologists (ENT physicians). Our team also includes:
  • Audiologists: Monitor hearing throughout childhood
  • Orthodontists: Guide the growth and development of the face and mouth. We offer nasoalveolar molding (NAM), a technique to improve appearance and function before surgery.
  • Psychologists: Support the emotional well-being of patients, promote a positive body image and help address challenges like bullying or anxiety
  • Speech therapists: Assist with feeding challenges and speech development

As an American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association (ACPA) Approved Team, we ensure the highest quality care for your child. This means your child will receive expert treatment from a care team who meets the most trusted standards in cleft and craniofacial care.

Comprehensive patient evaluations

To make your child’s care as seamless as possible, we offer coordinated monthly appointments with our team. Pediatric plastic surgeons, orthodontists, speech therapists, audiologists and other specialists evaluate your child in one visit. This approach makes your child’s care more consistent and offers families greater convenience.

Prenatal consultations

If your unborn baby is diagnosed with a cleft or craniofacial condition, we encourage you to schedule a prenatal consultation with our plastic surgeons. During this visit, we will answer your questions, discuss your baby’s treatment plan and help you prepare for their care after delivery. Together, we will create a plan to support your child’s health and well-being from the beginning.

The pediatric plastic surgery team at Wellstar Children’s provides care for a variety of conditions requiring plastic surgery, including conditions present at birth. These conditions can affect physical function or appearance.

  • Facial trauma or injury
  • Neurofibromatosis

  • Hemangioma treatment
  • Neurofibromatosis debulking
  • Orthognathic surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Rhinoplasty
