Is Facial Reconstruction For You?
Facial reconstruction can help patients who have a birth defect, scars, or noticeable skin blemishes. It may also treat damage created by an accident or changes caused by tumor removal during cancer treatment. Providing dramatic results, facial reconstruction can balance your facial features, treat broken bones, or add structure. During your consultation, Dr. Cuzalina will assess your condition, listen to your medical history, and determine if the surgery is right for you. If so, a personalized treatment plan is created for all his patients so they can attain their desired cosmetic goals.
How Is Facial Reconstruction Surgery Performed?
Depending on the type of injury and the kind of tissue, Dr. Cuzalina will use specific techniques for your facial reconstruction procedure. Many injuries that involve the skin and soft tissues usually require scar revision treatments, which helps conceal the appearance. More complex trauma may involve bony reconstruction or a combination of bony and soft tissue reconstruction. Often, reconstructive surgery requires multiple operations to achieve the desired goal for both function and appearance.
