Plastic surgery and craniofacial surgery in children require a special approach to care from a dedicated team of experts.

The compassionate team at Children's Hospital believes in treating each child as an individual and taking the time to get to know your family and make you feel comfortable.

We offer the only pediatric plastic surgery clinic in central Missouri and are recognized by the Commission of Approval of Teams as a cleft palate team and craniofacial team. At MU Health Care, your child receives the highest level of surgical care and results. This includes offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which can help the body’s natural healing process work more efficiently by supplying pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber that is designed for safety and comfort.
