Board Certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon

Advances in technology have allowed individuals with face deformities caused by infectious disease, cutaneous neoplasms, congenital malformations, and other accidents to change the physical portion to make it appear more aesthetically acceptable. Most patients that undergo facial reconstructive surgery are categorized as either suffering from congenital or developmental deformities. A person’s face is generally the most visible bodily feature during encounters. Having abnormalities might cause psychological and emotional problems. The ability to alter these deformities through facial reconstructive surgery has allowed a high number of children and adults to feel confident about their appearance.

Some children are born with craniofacial anomalies, meaning a child’s skull or face has not properly formed. The discovery of a craniofacial anomaly can be very difficult for parents worried that the deformities will cause the child painful experiences. Over the years, discoveries in surgery techniques have helped make facial reconstructive surgery more exciting. Over just the past decade the advances made in surgical techniques were previously unimaginable to doctors, making major strides in the way the surgeries are performed.
