Facial Cancer Reconstruction
This surgery restores appearance and function after the removal of skin or tissue cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma. The goal is to rebuild areas of the while ensuring results remain as natural and functional as possible.
Facelift Parotidectomy
A parotidectomy using a facelift incision removes a benign parotid gland tumor through an incision hidden behind the ear, helping minimize visible scarring.
Mohs Reconstruction
Mohs reconstruction is the repair process performed after Mohs surgery removes skin cancer. Once the cancer is gone, our surgeons restore the shape and function of delicate areas like the eyelids, nose, or ears.
Facial Trauma Repair
Facial trauma surgery repairs injuries to the face caused by accidents, sports, or violence. The goal is to put the facial structures back together safely to restore symmetry and function.
Nasal Valve Repair
Nasal valve repair improves breathing when the narrowest parts of the nasal airway are collapsed or weak. This procedure strengthens the nose structure to allow better airflow.
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is a surgery that straightens the nasal septum (the wall between your nostrils). When this wall is crooked, it blocks airflow and makes breathing difficult.
Turbinate Reduction
Turbinate reduction decreases the size of the structures inside the nose that filter air. When these structures are too large, they block airflow and cause congestion.
Scar Revision
Scar revision improves the texture, color, or shape of scars caused by surgery, injury, or acne. The goal is to make the scar blend in with the surrounding skin.
