Patient Results

Listed below are images (photographs) of patients with hemangiomas and vascular malformations, each with a brief description.

Image 1: Patient with a nasal tip hemangioma before and after surgical removal.

Image 2: A child with an extensive hemangioma before and after resection. The hemangioma acts as its own tissue expander thereby simplifying the process of resection.

Image 3: Patient with a large hemangioma upper lip distorting normal anatomy, before and after surgery.

Image 4: Patient with a large forehead hemangioma interfering with eye opening. Before and after surgery
Image 5: A hemangioma of the nasal tip as an infant and several months later after extensive proliferation. Image 6: A child with a parotid hemangioma before and after proliferation. This hemangioma was unfortunately not treated and had been allowed to proliferate unchecked.
Image 7: A child with a fairly superficial hemangioma before and after complete involution of the lesion has taken place. This child received no treatment and at the age of 17, still has extensive scarring, telangiectasia and residual fibro fatty tissue. Image 8: A child with an extensive hemangioma that had before and after treatment with a pulse dye laser. The child received 6 treatments with a pulse dye a laser and is shown here at his first birthday. The hemangioma had been proliferating very rapidly and that is no longer evident.
Image 9: Patient before and after surgery for chin and forehead hemangiomas. Image 10: An extensive deep venous malformation.
Image 11: A multifocal venous malformation of the tongue. This is a common situation for venous malformations. Image 12: A child with an extensive venous malformation of her upper lip before and after several treatments with a Nd:YAG laser as well as surgical resection of the lesion.
Image 13: Patient with facial port wine stain before and after several laser treatments. Image 14: A child with a portwine stain of her upper lip. The portwine stains also involves the gum of the upper jaw and as a result, this site has overgrown slightly. The increased spacing of teeth is evidence of this.
Image 15: An advanced portwine stain with obvious cobblestone formation. Most portwine stains will develop these cobblestones at some stage. Early or low grade hemangiomas develop these cobblestones later whereas high grade hemangiomas develop them much earlier. Image 16: Patient with an extensive arteriovenous malformation, with dilation of vessels and ulceration of the overlying skin.
Image 17: Before and after excision of nasal tip/ala hemangioma. Image 18: A patient before and after laser treatment of extensive lympathic malformation of his tongue.
Image 19: A child with an extensive venous malformation of her upper lip. Image 20: A child with Kassabach-Merritt Syndrome.
Image 21: A midline venular malformation. Image 22: A patient with a lymphatic malformation.
Image 23: Child at 28 months of age with extensive "beard" hemangioma and tracheostomy. After several surgeries and removal of tracheostomy. Image 24: Child with lymphatic malformation of the oral cavity, airway and neck before and after removal of a large portion of the malformation in the left neck.
Image 25: Young girl with large right ear hemangioma before and after surgery. Image 26: Young twin girl with a large birthmark putting pressure on her eye, before and after surgery.
Image 27: Patient as an infant and then at 3 years old having undergone several steroid injections. Image 28: Patient with a large nasal bridge hemangioma, before and after surgery. She will undergo laser treatment to remove the remaining red.
Image 29: A young patient with an extensive hemangioma affecting her left eye. Before and after pulsed dye laser and surgery.
