Abstract:
Craniofacial surgery, in the strictest sense, is the surgery of structures above and behind the maxilla. Craniofacial surgery is not new to India and has been around for more than 4 decades now since the 1970s. Keeping in mind the promotion of the specialty in India, an Indian Craniofacial Foundation was launched in the year 2012 at the Annual Meeting of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India. To develop a craniofacial center in India, the primary requirement is a source of funding. Several craniofacial centers, which are already running successfully in India, have amply demonstrated that this can be done in several ways. We would like to discuss here the 2 models of craniofacial service delivery and training that the authors have seen and experienced firsthand.
