Ovadia Plastic Surgery
Craniofacial surgery addresses conditions affecting the bones and soft tissues of the skull and face. These are among the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery, requiring specialized fellowship training beyond a standard plastic surgery residency.
Cleft lip and palate repair restores normal anatomy, function, and appearance for children born with these common congenital differences. Treatment is typically staged, beginning in infancy and continuing through adolescence, and may involve lip repair, palate closure, alveolar bone grafting, and secondary rhinoplasty.
Craniosynostosis occurs when the sutures of an infant's skull fuse prematurely, potentially affecting brain growth and head shape. Surgical correction — performed in coordination with pediatric neurosurgery — reshapes the skull to allow normal development.
Ear reconstruction (microtia repair) creates or reconstructs the external ear using rib cartilage or prosthetic frameworks for patients born with underdeveloped or absent ears.
Genioplasty repositions the chin bone to improve facial balance and profile. This can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with orthognathic (jaw) surgery.
Adult craniofacial conditions — including post-traumatic facial deformities, jaw asymmetry, and complex facial reconstruction following tumor removal or prior surgery — also fall within this specialty. These cases often require a combination of bone reshaping, soft tissue rearrangement, and aesthetic refinement.
Dr. Ovadia's craniofacial fellowship provided dedicated experience in both pediatric and adult craniofacial conditions, an area of expertise shared by relatively few plastic surgeons in private practice.
Every patient's needs are unique. Dr. Ovadia will work with you to develop an individualized plan during your consultation.
