Congenital Defect Repair

It can feel overwhelming if your child was born with a congenital defect, but you're not alone. The CDC reports that 1 in 33 babies in the U.S. is born with a congenital defect each year. At Sutter, our team of skilled plastic surgeons help treat conditions such as cleft palate and cleft lip shortly after birth.

We’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan for your child’s facial reconstruction, including surgery and rehabilitation. Our plastic surgeons collaborate with a team of craniofacial specialists including dentists, pediatricians and speech pathologists to ensure the best care for your child. For hand, foot and ankle conditions, we take a similar multidisciplinary approach to treat your child’s condition and support your entire family.
