Craniosynostosis treatment provided at Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery helps correct the abnormal shape of the skull typical of this congenital condition and mitigates issues relating to brain and skull growth. Dr. Sean Boutros, the experienced plastic surgeon who heads this surgical center in Texas is well known for his expertise in plastic, reconstructive, and craniofacial surgery. Craniosynostosis is the result of the premature closing of one or more cranial sutures. It hinders the normal growth of the brain, skull, and facial bones as a result of the excess internal pressure building up inside the brain. Dr. Boutros provides each patient with a customized treatment plan based on a detailed evaluation of the child's age, overall health, extent of the deformity and sutures involved.
Case-specific treatment is provided for various conditions such as:
• Metopic Synostosis in which the forehead takes a triangular shape. Surgery is usually not required for mild cases, and if necessary, it is performed when the child is between nine and eleven months old
• Sagittal Synostosis is treated with a minimally invasive formal cranial vault remodeling procedure when the child is under two months old
• Corrective surgery for unilateral coronal synostosis characterized by deformities of the eye, nose and forehead is performed between nine and twelve months of age
• Treatment for multiple suture synostosis is achieved with multiple techniques such as early fronto-orbital advancement surgery, early shunting, and early monoblock advancement procedures.
