Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Oral Surgery
The Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Oral Surgery at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is among the largest, most active pediatric plastic surgery centers in the nation. We are dedicated to giving your child individualized care in a family-centered manner using the most advanced techniques. Our expert surgeons have vast experience treating the full spectrum of plastic surgical conditions — from the routine to the rare.
Performing surgery on children and adolescents with visible differences requires specialized knowledge. We are experts in creating treatment plans for children who are still growing. We also know that children with these conditions have unique emotional needs. Your child will be treated as a whole, and your entire family will be supported by our team.
How we serve you
To give your child the very best care, our doctors, nurses and other experts are grouped into specially trained treatment teams. These teams provide the best possible care for plastic, reconstructive and oral surgery patients, many of whom require long-term treatment.
