Dr. Naderi, My son was born with Treacher Collins. He has undergone several surgeries to his face only to be unsuccessful. We are told the bone grafts they used from his cranium had calcified and he is again left with a large area under his eyes that are sunken he from not having much zygomatic arches and cheek bones. He is 16 yrs old and we are looking for a team of doctors that have extensive experience dealing with plastic surgery of this nature.
Answer:
Hi,
There are many incredible Cranio-Facial Plastic Surgeons who routinely perform amazing work on patients with your son’s problem. You did not mention where the previous surgeries had been performed but most tertiary medical center and Pediatric Hospitals will have groups of surgeons who work together for the best results. The major hospitals will be Children’s in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Indianapolis (Riley), Hopkins in Baltimore, Cleveland Clinic, Cincinnati, Iowa, just to name a few.
I wish you luck.
