Surgery of the face and skull (craniofacial surgery) is a highly specialized branch of plastic surgery that focuses on the complex reconstruction of the jawbone, orbits (eye sockets), skull and soft tissue of the face. A craniofacial surgeon also treats complex soft tissue problems, such as hemangiomas, vascular malformations, facial tumors, Bell’s palsy and severe facial scarring. Surgeons at Pediatrix Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Savannah have completed specialized fellowship training dedicated to restoring facial form and function using surgical techniques.
Virtual Surgical Planning uses data to more accurately plan surgery with customized 3D printed surgical tools and guides. It is a more precise, anatomically based surgical simulation method.
Dr. Kumar is a leader in the field of VSP and uses state of the art equipment along with VSP to treat patients diagnosed with Craniofacial Microsomia (CFM), also known as Hemifacial Microsomia. CFM describes a vast array of abnormalities that affect the skull's development before birth. Individuals with this possess a facial anatomy of reduced growth, resulting in various degrees of craniofacial asymmetry that only progresses over time.
