Facial Reconstruction Surgery Procedures

Facial Reconstruction surgery is a unique specialty at Vargas Face and Skin Center. Facial trauma due to injury, domestic violence, disease or skin cancer can have a devastating effect on your face and self-image. Dr. Hannah Vargas specializes in this difficult area of facial cosmetic plastic surgery. She analyzes and reconstructs defects, carefully matching the texture, color and contour of the facial structures. Dr. Vargas also works closely with the esthetician who camouflages the flaws with medical-grade, non-irritant make-up during the facial reconstruction process.

A list of potential candidates for facial reconstruction surgery:

• Those with facial deformities from birth or due to aging
• Those with craniofacial trauma
• Those with facial deformities due to disease or cancer of the head, face or neck
• Those who require the removal of tumors and skin cancers
• Those with facial anomalies due to injury or trauma
• Those with scarring from previous medical procedures or lacerations
• Those who have suffered facial injury due to domestic violence

What to know about facial reconstruction:

Because your face is the most outward-facing part of your personality and identity, living with a facial injury or deformity can cause embarrassment, anxiety and unhappiness. Fortunately, facial reconstructive surgery can restore the natural beauty of your appearance and allow you to reclaim your self-esteem. Vargas Face and Skin can help you face life with confidence again.

Your in-depth consultation with Dr. Vargas will involve an extensive exam of your face and surrounding features. Measurements and photos may be taken at this time. In some cases, an eyelift, rhinoplasty, or ear surgery is part of a reconstructive surgery program. Although the decision to have reconstructive surgery is highly personal, it should be known that Dr. Vargas considers her work in facial reconstructive surgery to be one of the most satisfying aspects of her cosmetic surgery practice.
