Restoring appearance, function, and confidence after skin cancer removal, Mohs surgery, facial trauma, or prior surgery — with individualized reconstructive planning.
Facial reconstruction is the process of restoring both the appearance and function of the face after tissue has been removed or damaged. This may follow skin cancer excision, Mohs surgery, facial trauma, or complications from a previous procedure.
Reconstruction is not a single operation but a spectrum of techniques tailored to the size, location, and depth of the defect. Options range from simple closure to local tissue rearrangement (flaps), skin grafts, and more complex staged procedures. The approach depends on the specific area involved — the nose, lip, eyelid, cheek, or forehead each present unique anatomical considerations.
The goal of reconstruction is to achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic outcome while supporting healthy healing. Not every defect requires complex reconstruction; some heal well with careful wound care alone. A consultation is needed to determine the most appropriate approach for your individual situation.
