Pediatric Plastic Surgery
The Department of Pediatric Plastic Surgery at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) is staffed by highly experienced surgeons specializing in advanced reconstructive and aesthetic procedures for children.
Cosmetic Surgery for Children
Pediatric plastic surgery is one of the most complex and delicate branches of reconstructive medicine. At the Dana-Dwek Children’s Hospital, part of Ichilov, pediatric patients receive treatment from plastic surgeons who have undergone specialized training and fellowships in leading centers across North America.
This is one of the few centers in Israel where physicians are specifically trained in advanced pediatric plastic surgery techniques.
