Core Tip	This review comprehensively summarises the optimal timing for surgical intervention for various common congenital anomalies which are operated on by Plastic Surgeons. There are various considerations, both general and specific to a condition which dictate the most appropriate time to operate, and find a balance between several advantages and disadvantages of an earlier or more delayed surgery. Parents of children suffering from these anomalies must be guided appropriately by the obstetrician, paediatrician and the family physician, with convincing reasons as to why so much delay is required, before these children are referred to a plastic surgeon. This article is an attempt in that direction.
