Patient 1

Patient shown at 3 months old with a large, hairy nevus of the left posterior shoulder.  When she was 16 months old a tissue expander was placed below the normal skin of her back.  Saline was injected into a port below the skin for 12 weeks.  In a second surgery the nevus was removed and the expanded skin repaired the defect.  She is shown 1 year after the second surgery.
