Many individuals are born with various conditions that arise during the development of the embryo while it is in the womb.
Some may be serious and complex, creating difficulties even for the survival of the individual, while others may simply cause problems of an aesthetic nature.
Typical examples include cleft lip, cleft palate, hypospadias, syndactyly, hemangiomas, and others.
The solution is usually surgical, and the appropriate age for correction should be discussed with the physician.
In most cases, these procedures should be performed during the preschool years. Parents, free from prejudice, should discuss the condition openly and follow the recommendations of the plastic surgeon in order to achieve the best possible resolution of the problem.
