What is Congenital Deformity Correction?

Congenital Deformity Correction refers to specialized reconstructive surgical procedures performed to correct structural abnormalities that are present at birth. These conditions may affect the face, hands, feet, ears, chest wall, or other parts of the body and can impact both appearance and normal function.

The goal of congenital deformity correction is to improve physical function, enhance appearance, support healthy development, and improve overall quality of life. Treatment plans are highly individualized and may involve a single procedure or staged surgical reconstruction depending on the severity and type of deformity.

  • Extra fingers or toes (polydactyly)
  • Congenital chest wall abnormalities
