Department of Pediatric Plastic Surgery

About the Department of Pediatric Plastic Surgery

The Department of Pediatric Plastic Surgery at Children’s Colorado is one of the largest children’s plastic and reconstructive surgery programs in the country. Our doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners have offered family-centered, evidence-based care for more than 30 years. We provide both inpatient and outpatient treatment for children in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.

Our plastic and reconstructive surgery team includes skilled medical professionals who use the most advanced surgical techniques. Our team is also pediatric trained, so we design our procedures specifically for children and work to make sure that we provide care that not only addresses their physical health, but supports positive mental health as well.

Who we treat

Children’s Colorado treats both congenital (present at birth) and acquired conditions affecting the face, head, neck, body, arms and legs. We provide specialized care for a variety of conditions, from common cysts and moles to complex congenital defects and birth abnormalities. These conditions can affect your child’s physical functions, appearance and emotional well-being.
