Pediatric plastic surgery, as a super specialty of plastic surgery, is done on children with deformities that are congenital or acquired, with the major thrust of improving the quality of life of the children for the many years to come throughout their long lives. Although the focus on appearance is most often done to make the children appear as near normal as possible, physical growth and development as well as function should be included in the focus, based on the principles of a sound plastic surgery. In this short space, we categorize 3 examples of deformity as congenital, traumatic, and oncologic. We will include many aspects of each, but not all. We will focus on interesting and common clinical problems. The goal of the work that is done on the children is not procedure oriented but rather principle derived.
