Craniofacial Outcomes Research Team
Principal Investigator: Justine C. Lee, MD, PhD, FACS
Our craniofacial outcomes research team is committed to identifying and finding methods for improving outcomes in the care of craniofacial surgical patients. Two of our major, long-term interests are longitudinal psychosocial outcomes in patients with congenital craniofacial diagnoses as well as patients who have undergone gender-affirming facial reconstruction.
