Craniosynostosis is a congenital deformity of the infant skull, wherein the sutures of two or more of the seven bones in the skull fuse prematurely. This deformity can cause an abnormal head shape in infants. Craniosynotosis surgery is performed to correct the cosmetic deformity of the skull and face. Plastic surgeons at Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery center are skilled in craniosynostosis surgery and have successfully performed the procedure for many patients.

The plastic surgeons at the center, Dr Sean Boutros and Dr Jason Hall, are renowned for their expertise in reconstructive procedures. They are considered among the leading plastic surgeons in the area and are specialized in several reconstructive and cosmetic surgical procedures. Being at the forefront in using advanced technologies, the plastic surgeons at this center perform craniosynostosis surgery using the latest surgical techniques to deliver the best results.

There are several treatment options for craniosynostosis, all of which are dependent on individual conditions and the phase of the deformity. The surgery is performed for a variety of deformities including Metopic Synostosis, Coronal Synostosis, Sagittal Synostosis, and Multiple Suture Synostosis. Children with multiple-suture craniosynostosis may require multiple surgical techniques to control intracranial pressure. Multiple techniques are used such as early fronto-orbital advancement surgery, early shunting and early monoblock advancement procedures. Reconstruction for Sagittal Synostosis involves removal of the suture and opening up the coronal and lambdoid sutures for widening the skull.

From the initial consultation through surgery and recovery, each patient is ensured of personalized treatment and care at the center. Surgeries at this center take place on Thursdays. Appointments can be scheduled between the hours of 9:00am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.
