Expertise in Facial Reconstruction

Both Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu have extensive experience in facial reconstruction, drawing from their background in treating pediatric patients with congenital facial abnormalities. Their expertise extends to delicate facial features, ensuring that patients achieve symmetrical healing and meet their aesthetic objectives. They employ advanced reconstructive techniques tailored to each patient's unique needs.

A Chance for a New Beginning

Facial trauma from incidents like motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, or domestic incidents can cause severe damage to the bones and soft tissues of the face and neck. These injuries often result in functional impairments and facial deformities that can lead to significant emotional distress. If you have experienced such trauma, you may benefit greatly from facial reconstructive surgery. Additionally, individuals seek this procedure to address congenital anomalies, correct facial features affected by disease, or achieve a more harmonious facial appearance. Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu specialize in treating a wide range of soft tissue injuries and facial fractures, including those affecting the scalp, ears, eyelids, nose, lips, jaw, cheek, orbit, and forehead.

Conditions Addressed

Facial reconstruction procedures provided by SVIA focus on the following:

Treating facial trauma such as injuries to the nose, ears, or eyelids
Repairing fractures and broken bones in the facial region
Addressing cuts, lacerations, and skin defects resulting from skin cancer treatments like Mohs surgery

Is Facial Reconstruction Surgery Right for Me?

Facial reconstruction surgery is ideal for individuals who have suffered facial trauma, congenital deformities, or undergone surgical procedures for medical conditions like cancer. For trauma victims, timely intervention with facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is crucial for optimal outcomes. We encourage you to contact SVIA today to discuss your specific needs and options.

Your Procedure

Facial reconstruction surgeries typically last between four to twelve hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Procedures may involve general anesthesia for comfort. Soft tissue injuries are meticulously repaired using advanced stitching techniques, while microsurgery may be employed for delicate structures like facial nerves, salivary glands, and ducts. Facial bone fractures are carefully addressed to restore both form and function. Your procedure will be personalized to address your unique needs and optimize results.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

Recovering from facial reconstruction surgery is a gradual process requiring patience and care. Swelling typically subsides within five to seven days, with bruising diminishing within ten to fourteen days. Stitches are usually removed approximately one week after surgery. Rest and avoidance of strenuous activities are essential during the initial healing phase. Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu will provide you with a detailed recovery plan tailored to support your healing journey and ensure the best possible outcome.
