What Is Facial Reconstruction?
Facial reconstruction refers to surgical procedures that repair, rebuild, or enhance the structure of the face following trauma, surgery, or developmental abnormalities. These procedures may involve the bones of the jaw, cheek, nose, or eye sockets, as well as soft tissues.

What types of injuries require facial reconstruction?
Facial reconstruction is commonly required after trauma such as car accidents, sports injuries, or falls that result in fractures, lacerations, or jaw damage. It may also be needed after surgery to remove tumors or to correct congenital defects.
Is facial reconstruction purely cosmetic?

Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the surgery. Some patients may recover in a few weeks, while others may need several months of healing and rehabilitation for full results.

Insurance may cover facial reconstruction when it is medically necessary, such as after trauma or tumor removal. Our team can help verify your benefits and guide you through the process. |
