Facial Reconstruction

Facial abnormalities and deformities can be emotionally, psychologically or physically devastating to an individual, causing that person to have less self confidence and even start to withdraw from society. Dr. Azizzadeh has given many patients with trauma to the face, neck and head a new outlook on life through facial reconstructive surgery.

Soft tissue and skeletal injuries to the face, head and neck can be caused by:
  • Accidents
  • Sports injuries
  • Cancer surgery
  • Birth disfigurements
  • Infectious disease
  • Congenital or developmental deformities
What is the difference between reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery?
Reconstructive surgery alters the appearance of abnormal facial structures opposed to enhancing already normal appearances. This complex surgery often requires transfer of bone and tissue from other regions of the body to restore normal function and aesthetics. The transfer of these tissues requires microscopic attachment of arteries, veins and nerves in order to allow completion of the reconstruction. Dr. Azizzadeh has extensive training and expertise in these microsurgical procedures, also known as microvascular free flap reconstruction.

What are some conditions that can be helped by facial reconstruction?
  • Facial paralysis
  • Cleft/lip palate
  • Ear abnormalities
  • Scar revision
  • Skin cancer treatment
  • Facial lacerations and fractures
  • Nasal obstruction
