Plenty of children are born with a difference, and most are very treatable. One consultant can assess and treat a range of them, explain things honestly, and tell you whether anything needs doing. Here is where to start.
Clear guidance for families whose child has been born with a difference, whatever it may be.
Request an assessment
Miss Jana Torres-Grau assesses and treats a range of conditions children are born with, at Evelina London Children's Hospital.
These include ear differences, hand and finger differences, birthmarks and vascular marks, skin lesions a child is born with such as moles and cysts, and tongue-tie, each with its own page below. Whichever applies to your child, the first step is a straightforward assessment.
Conditions I treat
Each condition below has its own page, with honest detail on what it involves and what can be done. Tap through to the one that fits your child.
If you are not certain which condition applies, just get in touch. I will read your message personally and point you in the right direction, with no obligation.
Seeing Miss Torres-Grau means the same person can assess and treat several of these conditions, and carry out any surgery herself. She has trained across the breadth of plastic surgery, including burns, trauma and conditions children are born with, with a specialist craniofacial fellowship, and she works within a children's hospital with the right teams around her.
Whichever condition your child has, you get in touch, the team replies the same day, and you come in for an assessment, in person or online. From there you receive an honest plan and a written quote for anything that follows, and any treatment and follow-up are arranged around your child.
Use the form or call. The team replies the same day.

The main conditions treated here are ear differences, hand and finger differences, birthmarks and vascular marks, skin lesions present from birth such as moles and cysts, and tongue-tie. Each has its own page with honest detail, and other related conditions can be discussed at an assessment.
Yes, Miss Torres-Grau assesses and treats this range of conditions herself, and carries out any surgery herself. Where part of the care sits better with another team, such as medicine for a fast-growing birthmark in a baby, she works alongside them within the children's hospital.
Most conditions children are born with can be treated or improved, though not all need surgery. Some are best managed with reassurance, medical treatment, dressings or splinting, and some settle on their own. An honest assessment will tell you what, if anything, should be done for your child, and what the options are.
Start with an assessment, where the condition is examined and explained and you are given a clear plan. You can also read the individual condition page above that fits your child before you get in touch.
Get in touch
Fill in the form and the team will be in touch, usually the same day. There is no obligation, and I will always give you an honest view of whether a consultation is the right next step.
