Facial Reconstruction Surgery

Traumas to the face or skin, such as skin cancer, car accident injuries, and other trauma, can cause severe emotional strain. However, Dr. Davis specializes in repairing such injuries so that you feel better about your appearance – and about yourself. Learn more about our facial reconstruction in Houston below, during which Dr. Davis can repair and rebuild areas of the face.

What Is Facial Reconstructive Surgery?

Facial reconstructive surgery is a surgery, or series of surgeries, designed to repair areas of the face after trauma, illness, or genetic irregularities. Facial reconstructive surgery usually involves rebuilding a facial feature using skin, muscle, cartilage, or bone harvested from a different part of the body.

Microtia Reconstruction

In addition to his facial reconstruction surgery in Houston, Dr. Davis is also able to perform microtia reconstruction. This is a rare congenital problem that can occur in infants, wherein they are born without ears, or with malformed ears. This surgery takes immense surgical skill, as it requires multiple stages and involves creating a new ear framework sculpted from rib cartilage that Dr. Davis harvests from the patient. During the surgery, the earlobe is repositioned, and the ear framework is then lifted from the scalp and skin grafted on the backside to make it three-dimensional. This usually requires 3-4 surgeries spread out over the course of a year.

Benefits of Facial Reconstruction Surgery

Sometimes facial scarring or irregularities can be painful reminders of past trauma or health battles. Dr. Davis understands the impact these injuries can have on a person both physically and psychologically. By repairing these injuries, patients can move forward with their lives and help them feel closer to their normal self. These surgeries can also help correct previous scarring and help prevent new scars from forming.

Your facial reconstruction treatment at Texas Facial Plastic Surgery will utilize the latest surgical techniques and technology, and may also include non-surgical procedures to complement the surgical work. In addition to the cosmetic benefits, facial reconstruction surgery can also help with facial paralysis, breathing difficulties, and other facial movements.
