Custom-planned cranial reconstruction tailored to your child’s anatomy
Distraction osteogenesis to gradually reshape and expand the skull
Resorbable implants that provide structural support and safely dissolve as healing progresses
At El Paso Craniofacial Team, our craniofacial team provides comprehensive open surgical treatments for craniosynostosis, combining advanced techniques with a patient-centered approach. These procedures are carefully planned to optimize outcomes for each child and may include:
When your child begins treatment with El Paso Craniofacial Team, you can expect expert care delivered with compassion and precision.
Our team performs a detailed physical exam and, if necessary, advanced imaging to confirm the diagnosis.
Each case is carefully reviewed by our multidisciplinary team to design the most effective surgical approach.
The fused suture is surgically released, and cranial reshaping is performed to restore a balanced head shape and allow for normal growth.
Procedures may include distraction osteogenesis or resorbable implants to optimize long-term outcomes.
Families receive continuous follow-up visits to ensure proper healing, growth monitoring, and emotional support throughout the recovery process.
Families from across the region and around the world have trusted our team at El Paso Craniofacial Team. Here’s what parents are saying:
“We received so much love throughout this journey that I never felt alone during the process.”

“We truly, truly thank them for everything they did for our daughter.”

“Scarlett underwent her endoscopic craniosynostosis surgery, and the change was incredible—it transformed her life.”

Fusion of the sagittal suture often results in a long, narrow skull (scaphocephaly). Open surgical correction restores cranial width and allows for normal brain and skull growth.
Premature fusion of the metopic suture can create a triangular forehead (trigonocephaly). Our surgical approach corrects forehead narrowing and improves both function and appearance.
Coronal synostosis may involve one or both sutures, leading to forehead flattening and facial asymmetry. Open correction provides balanced cranial and facial development.
Complex cases involving multiple sutures require precise surgical planning. Distraction osteogenesis and cranial remodeling techniques help relieve pressure and achieve improved symmetry.
When both coronal sutures close early, the skull may appear shortened front-to-back with raised orbital rims. Our surgical interventions restore proper cranial proportions and aesthetics.
This rare type affects the back of the skull, causing flattening and asymmetry. Our specialists are skilled at distinguishing true lambdoid synostosis from positional head flattening and providing effective treatment.
Pansynostosis occurs when all cranial sutures close prematurely, restricting skull growth in every direction. This condition can lead to increased intracranial pressure, abnormal head shape, and developmental delays.
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow and thrive with confidence. At El Paso Craniofacial Team, our mission is to deliver expert care and compassionate support that transforms outcomes for children and families.
