Craniofacial and Pediatric Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale

Children’s faces and skulls are still growing, so treatment has to account for where a child is today and where they will be in five, ten, and fifteen years. Dr. Kamel uses 3D imaging and surgical planning to map each step, and he coordinates closely with pediatricians, neurosurgeons, orthodontists, ENT specialists, and geneticists so families have one clear plan instead of several disconnected ones. Conditions commonly evaluated at the Fort Lauderdale office include:

• Craniosynostosis: Early fusion of one or more skull sutures, treated with open or endoscopic techniques depending on age and suture involvement.
• Cleft lip and cleft palate: Staged care from infancy through adolescence that supports feeding, speech, nasal breathing, and facial balance.
• Plagiocephaly: Flattening of the back or side of the head, which often responds to positioning or helmet therapy without surgery.
• Microtia and ear differences: Multistage ear reconstruction planned around a child’s growth and long-term symmetry.
• Craniofacial syndromes: Long-term care for Treacher Collins, Apert, Crouzon, Goldenhar, Pierre Robin sequence, and hemifacial microsomia.
• Vascular anomalies and congenital hand differences: Evaluation and treatment of birthmarks, malformations, and hand differences present at birth.

Reconstructive Surgery for Children and Adults

Reconstructive care at this office extends well beyond congenital conditions. Dr. Kamel repairs orbital, nasal, cheekbone, and jaw fractures through facial trauma reconstruction, improves the look and flexibility of injury or surgical scars with scar revision, and restores lost tissue using skin grafting and tissue expansion. He also treats adolescents with congenital breast conditions through breast reconstruction in adolescents, and he performs jaw surgery for patients whose bite, breathing, or facial balance is affected by skeletal differences.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Consultations in Fort Lauderdale

The same structural understanding of facial anatomy that guides craniofacial reconstruction shapes Dr. Kamel’s cosmetic work. Adults visit the Fort Lauderdale office to discuss rhinoplasty, facelift and neck lift surgery, eyelid and brow surgery, and breast and body procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, revision surgery, and mommy makeovers. His aesthetic approach favors proportion and natural movement over dramatic change, and recommendations are based on each patient’s anatomy, health history, and goals.

“A parent bringing in a newborn and an adult considering rhinoplasty have more in common than you might think. Both want to understand exactly what we are doing, why, and what the next several years will look like. I make sure they leave with that answer.” — Dr. George Kamel

Common Reasons Patients Visit Our Fort Lauderdale Office

Many patients arrive after a referral from a pediatrician, ENT, orthodontist, or emergency physician. Others come on their own because something has worried them for months. Some of the most common concerns include:

• A newborn or infant with an unusual head shape
• A baby diagnosed with cleft lip or cleft palate before or after birth
• Specialist follow-up after a child’s facial injury or fracture
• A birthmark, skin lesion, or vascular anomaly that is growing or changing
• Ears that are absent, underdeveloped, or prominent
• Nasal shape or breathing problems in teens and adults
• Concerns with existing breast implants, including asymmetry, rupture, or capsular contracture
• Signs of facial aging around the eyes, cheeks, jawline, or neck

If an injury is happening right now and involves heavy bleeding, difficulty breathing, vision changes, or loss of consciousness, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room first. Dr. Kamel can see your child for specialist care once they are stable.

What to Expect at Your Fort Lauderdale Consultation

Your first visit focuses on listening and examination. Dr. Kamel reviews your concerns or your child’s history, performs a physical exam, and looks at any imaging or records you bring. For pediatric patients, that may include prior CT scans, X-rays, or notes from the referring physician. For cosmetic patients, the conversation centers on your goals, your anatomy, and whether surgery is the right step at all.

When surgery is recommended, Dr. Kamel walks you through the procedure, the expected recovery, potential risks, and realistic outcomes. Consultations and follow-up visits take place in the office, while surgical procedures are performed at an accredited hospital or surgical facility that is confirmed during planning. You can complete patient forms before your visit and review financing and insurance options in advance.

Follow-up care can often be arranged closer to home. In addition to Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Kamel sees patients at his Miramar office at Memorial Hospital Miramar and his Boynton Beach office in Palm Beach County, which gives families from Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Coral Springs, and Miami flexible options throughout treatment.
