Delicate facial reconstruction procedures are done to restore your natural appearance after a traumatic injury, facial cancer, or other disfigurement.
If an injury or diagnosis alters the way your face looks, it can dramatically impact your sense of self. In these cases, facial reconstruction can be an important step in your healing journey.
With advanced facial reconstruction techniques, Dr. Wingate can:
When the facial nerve is damaged, it can create an uneven appearance that impacts your confidence and results in distorted facial expressions. It may also be difficult to perform daily activities, like chewing and speaking. During facial reconstruction, Dr. Wingate can re-animate the affected muscles and restore your natural facial appearance and overall function.
Bell’s palsy causes one-sided facial weakness or paralysis, creating aesthetic and functional problems. During facial reconstruction, Dr. Wingate can improve facial symmetry and function using nerve grafts, muscle transfers, and more. The goal of surgery is to help you feel like yourself again, while restoring your natural facial expressions and movements.
Dr. Wingate treats burn scars using facial flaps to replace the damaged skin. In some cases, he may combine these flaps with laser treatments to smooth and restore scarred skin.
If you’ve sustained a traumatic injury that required emergent medical care, you may be left with devastating changes to your appearance. Fortunately, there are many treatments Dr. Wingate can employ to treat facial trauma, including bone grafts and prosthetics, tissue transplants, nasal reconstruction, and more.
