Pediatric Surgery
Pediatric surgery is approached with gentleness, precision, and a deep understanding of both medical needs and family concerns. Each procedure is carefully planned to support healthy development while minimizing physical and emotional impact.
Care is tailored to the child’s age, condition, and growth stage, with close attention to safety, comfort, and long-term outcomes.
Pediatric Ear Molding
Non-surgical reshaping of minor ear deformities in early infancy.
Pediatric ear molding is a non-surgical technique used to gently reshape certain ear deformities present at birth. Using an external molding device or taping system, the ear cartilage is guided into a more typical shape while it is still soft and malleable.
This treatment is most effective when started early—often within the first few weeks of life.
THE APPROACH
A custom molding device or taping technique is applied to the ear to gradually guide its shape. The process is gentle, does not require anesthesia, and is monitored closely to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
BENEFITS
Non-surgical Correction
No Anesthesia Required
Well-tolerated by Infants
Early Intervention may reduce the need for Future Surgery
Pediatric Skin Surgery
Surgical care for congenital and acquired skin conditions in children.
Pediatric skin surgery addresses a range of conditions, including congenital moles, nevi, nevus of Jadassohn, scar revisions, and laceration repair. The goal is to remove or improve skin lesions while prioritizing safe healing and minimal scarring.
Dr. Cohen also performs surgery for congenital breast deformities.
Procedures are planned with consideration for a child’s growth and development.
THE APPROACH
Surgical techniques are selected based on the child’s age, location of the lesion, and long-term outcomes. When appropriate, procedures are performed with careful planning to minimize scarring and support healthy healing.
BENEFITS
Targeted treatment of skin conditions
Careful attention to scar placement and healing
Age-appropriate surgical planning
RECOVERY & FOLLOW-UP
Recovery varies depending on the procedure performed. Families are provided with clear aftercare instructions and close follow-up to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.
