You will meet our team members, and your surgeon will personally evaluate your child’scondition and will ask about your child's health history. You may also consult a children’s physician (paediatrician) at the same visit or later. You will have an opportunity to discuss treatment options and the recommended course of treatment, explore outcomes of procedures and the potential risks and complications associated and get your questions answered.
What should you expect during the treatment?
The paediatrician and anaesthesia team assess your child’s medical fitness before surgery. They can prescribe some diagnostic testing and medications. Once the medical fitness is declared, instructions for the day of the surgery are given. On discharge, postoperative care and follow-up instructions are explained.
What should you expect during the recovery following children’s plastic surgery?
There can be some discomfort, swelling and pain after surgery. Post-surgery medications are prescribed for your child’s faster recovery. Our team will advise you on the care of the surgical site and feeding or activity restrictions that may be necessary to promote normal healing. Also, you can discuss specific issues to be monitored in your child’s general health during recovery with your doctor. Periodic follow-ups are advised to monitor the child and their health status.
How much does children’s plastic surgery cost?
Treatment cost varies based on the type of procedure planned and many other factors like other medical conditions, choice of operative facility, room choice etc. Multidisciplinary team care is essential for this condition and should be figured into your decision-making process. We also offer short-stay surgeries (like same-day surgeries) to save costs. While cost is an important consideration from your perspective, it should not override clinical considerations, and that’s why a balanced approach is advisable.
Will my insurance plan cover it?
Reconstructive surgeries are generally covered by health insurance, but in case of congenital & cosmetic problems, some insurances may not cover them. Be sure to consult with your insurance company in advance of any surgery. Patient financing plans are also available to help cover costs.
