Do You Want to Reshape Your Future?

If your face has abnormalities caused by Mohs surgery performed to remove cancer cells but can leave a depression in the skin.

Facial reconstruction uses surgical techniques to fix the soft tissues and the bones in your face to restore the most natural look possible.

Dr. Sulyman-Scott uses the most advanced tools and skills to determine how she can mitigate the future impacts of your injury – such as scarring, asymmetry, or other challenges while protecting your sensory and nerve functions. Your facial reconstruction could be performed within days of your Mohs procedure or your traumatic injury; sometimes sooner for addressing soft tissue injuries or facial fractures.

What Does Facial Reconstruction Entail?

As a former nurse and board-eligible otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) Dr. Sulyman-Scott puts your health and satisfaction first. Facial reconstruction could require more than one procedure depending on your individual needs. Each procedure starts with a list of dos and don’ts. For example, you likely will be told to avoid blood thinners.

Facial Traumatic Injuries

These often involve repairs to soft tissue and may involve stitches. It may also involve adjusting asymmetry and misalignment of tissues. If your facial reconstruction involves facial bone fractures, Dr. Sulyman-Scott will use tools to restore the shape and stabilize the bones, improving the function and form of the impacted area.

Mohs Surgery

This cancer treatment frequently entails using nearby skin to create a “flap,” effectively restoring the skin that was excised. This may also be done by harvesting skin and tissue from a donor site on your body to graft onto the surgical site. Ultimately, the goal is a seamless cosmetic recovery from the reminders of skin cancer.

Your Recovery Experience

Whether you are recovering from a skin graft from Mohs surgery or need facial reconstruction from a traumatic facial injury, Dr. Sulyman-Scott has got your back through every step of your recovery. Although you will likely experience bruising and swelling, the recovery time will reflect the extent of your facial reconstruction surgery. It may be as short as seven days and as long as several weeks or longer. Dr. Sulyman-Scott will prescribe pain medication to keep you comfortable throughout your recovery.
