Congenital Malformation Reconstruction
Even though congenital malformations are substantially less frequent today
thanks to extensive pre-natal testing, many children and adults still
require surgery to correct congenital defects that effect all parts of the
body, especially the face. A congenital malformation can be described as a
physical or anatomical defect present in a baby at birth. The defect may be
genetic in nature or caused by pre-natal events.
Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, William M. Portnoy, MD, FACS,
successfully treats patients from New York City to the West Coast. Some of
the more common congenital malformations Doctor Portnoy performs
reconstructive facial plastic surgery on include: Cleft Lip and Palate, Microtia, Nasal
Deformities and Vascular Facial Malformations.

facial reconstructive surgery may be performed in Board Certified Facial
