Paediatric plastic surgery is a specialised field dedicated to addressing a wide range of physical conditions in children, from birth defects to injuries and acquired deformities. It focuses on both the functional and aesthetic needs of growing children, ensuring that their physical appearance and overall health develop as naturally as possible.
Whether it involves correcting congenital abnormalities, managing trauma, or improving the appearance and function of scars, this discipline is integral to helping children regain confidence and live without the burden of visible or functional impairments.
At Parkway East Hospital, we run a dedicated paediatric plastic surgery service with a team of specialists that includes Dr James Mok, who brings with him years of experience in paediatric plastic surgery and aesthetic surgery. Our team performs intricate procedures and works closely with families to ensure that the treatment plan aligns with the child's long-term development and well-being.

Common conditions treated by our paediatric plastic surgeons
Scars can result from injuries, surgeries, or burns and may cause discomfort or affect a child's confidence. Treatment can range from conservative options like gels, tapes, microneedles and laser therapy to surgical interventions such as scar revision or fat grafting to improve the appearance of the scar.
Burns, whether minor or severe, require prompt and specialised care for proper wound healing and minimal scarring. Acute management often includes specialised dressings and possible surgery to promote optimal wound healing. Post-recovery, treatments such as gels, tapes, and lasers may be used to improve scarring and long-term outcomes.
Accidents can lead to traumatic injuries that need surgical intervention to close wounds and ensure the best aesthetic result. Our paediatric plastic surgeons work to carefully repair these injuries, focusing on both function and appearance to minimise scarring and promote optimal healing.
These skin conditions, while often benign, may cause concern due to their appearance or potential health risks. Surgical removal is performed with the goal of minimising scarring and achieving the best possible cosmetic result, ensuring that the child’s appearance is preserved.
Whether congenital or acquired, ear deformities can be treated with either conservative methods, such as ear molding in infancy, or surgical procedures when necessary. The goal is to restore or improve the appearance and function of the external ear, enhancing the child’s overall appearance and self-esteem.
