A craniofacial disorder refers to an abnormality of the face and/or the head, the most common of which is a cleft lip and/or palate (affecting one in every 700 births). Craniofacial differences can result from abnormal growth patterns of the face or skull, which involves soft tissue and bones. A craniofacial condition may include disfigurement brought about by birth defect, disease or trauma.
Craniofacial surgery focuses on the correction of deformities of the bones of the skull and face. Less than 30 years ago, medicine offered little hope to patients with severe craniofacial deformities. Today, highly experienced teams of craniofacial surgeons, including those at IMFH, have profoundly changed the outlook for these patients and their families.
