Facial Deformities clinic is held once a month on Wednesdays.
 

Operates as part of an Integrated Practice Unit (IPU), involving maxillofacial surgeons, ENT specialists, plastic surgeons, pediatricians, geneticists, speech therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and pediatric dentists.

This clinic treats children with various facial deformities, including cleft lip and palate, micrognathia (reduced and receded lower jaw), breathing and swallowing difficulties, hearing issues, and facial asymmetry.
 
The vision of the Sheba Medical Center in treating children with congenital, acquired, or developmental facial deformities and anomalies reflects a commitment to providing holistic, multidisciplinary, and long-term care. The aim is to support children and their families from the earliest stages of life through adulthood, through collaboration between a variety of medical, surgical, rehabilitative, and psychosocial specialists.

This multidisciplinary approach includes:

Early and precise diagnosis: Identifying medical needs and developing a tailored treatment plan.
Personalized care: Addressing the child’s physical, emotional, and social needs.
Collaboration between specialists: Combining the expertise of pediatricians, surgeons, orthodontists, speech therapists, psychologists, social workers, and more.
Family support: Providing guidance and assistance to families in coping with medical, social, and emotional challenges.
Smooth transition to adulthood: Preparing the child and family to navigate the challenges of adulthood in the best possible way.

This vision ensures a focus not only on the medical condition but also on the quality of life of the patients, integrating medical innovation, advanced technology, and compassionate care.
