A birth defect is a developmental abnormality that occurs while the baby is still growing in the womb. While a large portion of abnormalities happen for unknown reasons, genetics, alcohol use and exposure to certain medications are often contributing factors. If the abnormality is one that is visible, the skilled plastic and reconstructive surgeons at Saint Francis can help to correct the defect.
