This is a complex issue. Some old/“mature” scars can be improved with plastic surgery or laser treatments and some cannot. You should get at least one opinion from a plastic surgeon experienced in facial reconstruction and scar treatment before jumping into a treatment. If you do have a surgical treatment, try to get it at least a year before your event so that the surgical site can heal well. Most scars take at least a year to fully evolve and “mature”.

In the evaluation and care of your young daughter’s hand burn, make sure you consult a plastic surgeon/hand surgeon who is experienced in treating young children’s hand burns. This burn has serious functional implications as well as cosmetic ones. If the burn goes deep into the layers of her skin, she will most probably need a surgical “debridement”/cleaning and grafting with her own skin. She will also need treatment by an occupational (hand) therapist and treatment with a compression glove after the skin has healed.

The surgical repair of palatal clefts, even those of only the soft palate, are accompanied by orthodontic treatment. Surgically joining together the two sides of the palatal cleft causes a growth disturbance/constriction of the palate as a side effect of the repair which improves speech and feeding. Most often, these patients require the orthodontist to “expand” the palate with an orthodontic device to give normal occlusion — ie. To make sure the teeth fit together properly. This is very important to assure that the teeth have the best fit possible and normal “wear” over the years so that they stay healthy and last a lifetime.

To correct your crooked/deviated nose, you will need to undergo a surgical procedure called a septorhinoplasty.

The cause of crookedness has two major components. One is septal deviation which is the wall of bone and cartilage inside your nose, which separates the left and right nasal airways. The other is crookedness of the external portions of your nose, whose framework is also made of bone and cartilage. These deviations can be caused by growth disturbances and/or trauma such as a blow to the nose causing a fracture. Make sure you consult a surgeon skilled at repairing both the internal nasal airway and the external nose.
