Hemangiomas
Heamangioma is a vascular anomaly that usually appears during neonatal age, grow rapidly during infancy and regresses in childhood.
50% of heamangiomas resolve by the age of 5, 70% by the age of 7 and 90% be the age of 9 years old.
Nevertheless 50-75% of heamangiomas cause an aesthetic issue after their involution.
In case a heamangioma doesn’t resolve and cause functional or aesthetic issues, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the problem and suggest the right therapy.
This may include multiple laser sessions or injection of drug substances. When these treatments fail to succeed or are contraindicated, then surgical excision is necessary.
