Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Trusted Surgical Expertise for Children with Complex Needs in NJ

Plastic and reconstructive surgery for children requires a unique skill set that extends beyond the surgeon to the entire care team. At Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health, this means our pediatric plastic surgeons work as part of a dedicated team that includes specially trained nurses, anesthesiologists, and child life specialists.

Together, their focus is on ensuring your child’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being throughout the surgical experience. Serving families across New Jersey, our goal is to help every child feel and function their very best in a safe, nurturing environment backed by the resources of a dedicated children’s hospital.

Conditions We Treat

We offer plastic and reconstructive surgery for children with:

• Cleft lip and palate
• Craniosynostosis, where the bones in a baby’s skull close too early
• Microtia, a condition affecting the shape or size of the external ear
• Pediatric vascular anomalies, including infantile hemangiomas and other vascular malformations
• Post-traumatic injuries involving bone or soft tissue
• Positional plagiocephaly, which causes a flat or uneven head shape

Dedicated Team, Personalized Care

Our Magnet-recognized nurses and pediatric-trained team are with your family every step of the way, from the moment you walk in for a consultation through surgery, recovery, and follow-up. We know every child is unique, and we take the time to understand what matters most to you and your child before, during, and after surgery.

Whether your child needs care for a congenital condition or reconstructive support following an injury, you can trust our team to provide skillful, compassionate care in a space that’s built around children and families
