A “deformity” actually could mean a lot of things. Most common indicates a condition that destroys the normal anatomy and the average aesthetics. Numerous problems can cause this feeling of not looking normal, such as cancer, burns, accidents, nerve injuries, radiation injury and even severe case of acne or skin conditions.
There is a great degree of complexity in these cases not only because of the underlying pathology but also because of the multiple treatments that sometimes are required to solve the problem.
Consultation with the plastic surgeon is essential and these patients are treated based on a comprehensive surgical or non invasive treatment plan.
Most of the time the treatment plan is totally individualized and collaboration with the primary doctor is needed.
