About Craniofacial Resection

Craniofacial resection is a highly specialized and complex surgical procedure performed by Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeons to address severe conditions affecting both the skull (cranium) and the facial bones. It involves the meticulous removal of tumors, correction of major congenital deformities, or reconstruction following significant trauma. The goal is not only to eradicate disease or correct structural issues but also to restore both function and aesthetic form. This multidisciplinary surgery often requires collaboration with neurosurgeons, ENT specialists, and ophthalmologists to ensure the safety of critical structures like the brain, eyes, and sinuses. The reconstructive phase focuses on rebuilding the facial skeleton and soft tissues to achieve a natural appearance and preserve essential functions such as breathing, vision, and chewing.
