Reconstructive Surgery Cases

Reconstructive surgery may be necessary to correct injury to facial structures resulting from injury, cancer, or other diseases.

Such procedures — for example, repairing facial fractures, corrective nasal surgery, upper eyelid blepharoplasty, and scar revisions — can restore a more normal facial appearance or improve a functional problem.

Some reconstructive surgeries are covered under one's insurance benefits.

Some examples of reconstructive facial surgery include:

Case 1. Rhinoplasty

A functional rhinoplasty was necessary to correct this woman's traumatic nasal injury and to improve her breathing.

Case 2. Rhinoplasty

This man's nasal fracture was repaired during outpatient surgery.

Case 3. Rhinoplasty

Corrective nasal surgery straightened this teenager's nose and also improved her nasal breathing.

Case 4. Scar Revision

A car accident left this teenager with a large forehead scar. A two stage repair was performed. Initially, the scar was excised. Later, a laser was used to smooth and provide additional camouflage.

Case 5. Rhinophyma

The laser was used to restore a more normal appearance to this man's nose with rhinophyma, a condition caused by growth of the oil and sweat glands within the skin.
