What is Reconstructive Facial Plastic Surgery?

Facial reconstructive surgery is a branch of plastic surgery that focuses on restoring the natural appearance and functionality of the face. This type of surgery addresses the effects of disease, trauma, congenital defects, and the aging process on the face.

The primary goal of reconstructive surgery is to correct physical deformities, restore natural appearance, and enhance functionality, ultimately improving a patient’s quality of life.

Reconstructive facial plastic surgery can involve a wide range of procedures, including facial reconstructive surgery, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), scar revisions, and skin cancer surgery.

Ideal Candidates for Reconstructive Facial Plastic Surgery

Ideal candidates for this procedure are those in overall good health who do not smoke or consume excessive amounts of alcohol. This implies that the body is in the best possible condition to handle the surgery and the subsequent recovery.

Individuals may consider reconstructive facial plastic surgery to address physical deformities, injuries, or abnormalities that hamper their daily function and quality of life.

Reconstructive facial plastic surgery encompasses a range of different techniques, each designed to address specific issues and enhance the natural form and function of the face.

Facial reconstructive surgery helps fix problems with the face caused by injuries, genetics, or illnesses. It restores functions like smiling, blinking, eating, and speaking comfortably.

Dr. Wong's extensive experience and training in reconstructive facial surgery allow her to perform these complex procedures with precision and care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for her patients.

Also known as rhinoplasty, nose surgery is performed to make changes in the shape of the nose, improve breathing, and drain the sinuses. Dr. Wong's expertise in functional nasal and sinus surgery allows her to correct structural issues in the nose, ensuring smoother airflow and easier breathing for her patients.

Scar Revisions

Scar revisions are a significant part of reconstructive facial plastic surgery, particularly for patients who have experienced trauma or have had previous surgeries. These procedures aim to minimize the appearance of scars, enhance overall facial aesthetics, and boost self-confidence.

The process of scar revision involves modifying the appearance of the scar, blending it with the surrounding skin, and improving its texture.

Skin cancer surgery involves the removal of mutated tissue, followed by reconstructive surgery for aesthetic purposes. Dr. Wong's exceptional training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery allows her to remove cancerous tissue effectively and reconstruct the area, preserving the natural appearance and function of the face.
