Congenital & Acquired Deformity Correction

Congenital and acquired deformities encompass a broad range of structural abnormalities that affect the face, limbs, trunk, or other body regions. Congenital deformities — those present from birth — include conditions such as microtia (underdeveloped ear), facial asymmetry, syndactyly (fused fingers or toes), polydactyly (extra digits), and craniofacial malformations. Acquired deformities result from trauma, disease, tumor excision, or prior surgery and may include post-accident facial disfigurement, limb deformities from fracture malunion, or tissue loss following cancer removal.

The surgical approach to deformity correction is inherently individualized, drawing from a wide range of reconstructive techniques including bone reshaping and osteotomy, soft tissue rearrangement with local and free flaps, cartilage and bone grafting, tissue expansion, and microsurgical procedures. The goal is not merely cosmetic improvement but comprehensive functional restoration — ensuring the affected area can perform its intended role while also achieving the best possible aesthetic outcome.

Dr. Amit Agrawal at Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh has extensive experience in both congenital and acquired deformity correction, leveraging over 29 years of training and practice in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He understands the profound emotional and psychological impact that visible deformities carry, and works closely with each patient — and, in pediatric cases, with families — to develop a staged surgical plan that delivers meaningful, life-changing results.
