[Experiences with plastic surgery in mongoloid children].
The aim of plastic surgery in children with down-syndrome is the improvement of speech (by correction of macroglossia) as well as improvement of cosmetic appearance (by correction of saddle nose deformity, epicanthic folds receding chin and deformity of ears). Altering the typical mongoloid physiognomy facilitates the integration of these children into the community.
