Craniofacial Correction by Dr. Vicky Jain · Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
Learning your baby needs skull surgery is understandably overwhelming. Craniosynostosis surgery is well-established and, done at the right time, allows healthy brain growth and a natural head shape. Dr. Vicky Jain supports families through every step.
Craniosynostosis surgery is a procedure used to treat a condition where one or more of the bones in a baby's skull close too early, before the brain has fully developed. This can cause an abnormal head shape and, in some cases, increased pressure on the brain. The surgery involves reshaping the skull bones to allow normal brain growth and improve the appearance of the head. It's typically done in infancy, when the bones are still soft and easier to correct, and may involve open surgery or minimally invasive endoscopic techniques depending on the case.
Dr. Vicky Jain approach to craniosynostosis surgery is centered on precision, early intervention, and holistic child development. Dr. Vicky Jain begins with thorough clinical and radiological assessment to diagnose type and severity of suture fusion. Surgical planning is personalized by age and condition, using minimally invasive endoscopic surgery for infants under six months and open cranial vault remodeling for delayed or complex cases.
Recovery after craniosynostosis surgery typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the type of procedure and the child's overall health. Endoscopic surgery often allows discharge within 1 to 2 days and quicker recovery, while open remodeling generally needs 3 to 5 days hospital stay and 4 to 6 weeks recovery.

After my accident, Dr. Jain gave me my life back—unmatched skill and compassion.
Took time to listen; I left informed and confident. Excellent consultation.
The most suitable age group is usually 3 to 12 months, with endoscopic options often done around 3 to 6 months.
Early intervention offers better outcomes, less invasive options, and stronger support for normal brain development.
Initial recovery is 2 to 6 weeks, while full bone remodeling and developmental monitoring continue for months.
Pre-operative workup commonly includes CT with 3D reconstruction, and selected MRI/X-ray and medical assessments.
