Reporter: When it comes to plastic surgery for children, parents are most concerned about safety. Answer: Plastic surgery is a healthy body, not because of disease, but because of the appearance, shape or function of the problem needs to be repaired and rebuilt, so compared to the general surgery, the safety is very high. In addition, children’s hospitals have the advantage of pediatric anesthesia, surgery, and care that is unmatched by other adult hospitals, and can perform plastic surgery on children from birth to 18 years of age. Therefore, parents of children can come to our hospital for treatment with confidence. Reporter: Is the earlier the better for children to have plastic surgery? Answer: Except for some deformities involving bone development, other soft tissue deformities should be treated as early as possible. This is because: first, the smaller the child in the surgery left after the surgical scar is smaller; second, the younger the child the better the stretch of its skin, the better the post-operative recovery will be; third, children have the incomparable ability of adults to obtain motor and compensatory function, early treatment can be obtained after a good compensatory function; fourth, now most of the children are only child, with the intensification of social competition, parents’ Fifth, the rapid development of social change makes children aware of their own body deformity age in advance, in the past, it is generally believed that children in the age of 4 to 6 years old to produce this awareness, but more and more facts prove that this age is in advance, individual has advanced to about 2 years old, therefore, deformity is very easy to affect the mental health of children, common is to lead to low self-esteem, affecting children’s Sixth, the physical disability belongs to the category of privacy, out of self-protection, these privacy does not want to be known by any outsider, the parents’ desire and mood for treatment is urgent. Some deformities or defects can only be repaired and reconstructed when the child’s body has reached a certain stage of development, such as the reconstruction of the outer ear. There are also some deformities or lesions for which there is no good treatment at the moment, and when the lesion does not continue to expand and does not affect the aesthetics or the development and growth of other parts of the body, one cannot emphasize early. This is the best way to wait, waiting for the emergence of new technology, waiting for the introduction of new materials and equipment. Reporter: Nowadays, more and more children are born with birthmarks and other lesions on the face and body surface, and parents are particularly anxious about these cases. Answer: These phenomena are closely related to environmental degradation. There are two major types of birthmarks: pigmented birthmarks and vascular birthmarks. Pigmented birthmarks are well treated by laser, while vascular birthmarks can be treated by laser and also by surgery. In addition, there are various kinds of various skin lesions such as nevus, blue nevus, cyanosis, etc., all of which can be treated by freezing and laser cautery, but there are more obvious scars. Therefore, in comparison, surgical removal is better. There is no age limit for the treatment of all these birthmarks. Reporter: Can polydactyly be operated as soon as it is born? Answer: Polydactyly is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder and is one of the common deformities in children. Generally simple polydactyly, especially ulnar simple polydactyly, without metacarpal and metacarpophalangeal joint redundancy, surgery should be completed within 0-6 months of infancy; compound polydactyly, such as radial compound polydactyly and central polydactyly, etc., surgery can be postponed, but should be completed before the age of 2 years, in order to facilitate parents to get early psychological comfort, the child does not have psychological barriers. The superfluous fingers (toes) can be removed at any time after birth when they are not functional or do not affect the function of the attached metacarpal fingers. Reporter: Can children undergo cosmetic surgery? Answer: In principle, no. Because children’s bodies are not mature until they are 18 years old, their body systems and organs are in the process of growth and change, and this is the reason for the so-called “18 changes in women”, so they are not suitable for simple cosmetic surgery (including double eyelids, nose job, chin augmentation, jaw angle bone cutting, breast augmentation, etc.) before they become adults. But sometimes there is no strict boundary between plastic and cosmetic surgery, the purpose of plastic surgery is to restore (reconstruct) function and beauty, or both function and beauty. If cosmetic surgery is needed because of certain diseases, trauma, or deformities that affect aesthetics, it is a different story.
