About Facial Reconstruction

Facial reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure within aesthetic and reconstructive surgery that aims to restore both the form and function of the face. It addresses significant defects caused by trauma (such as accidents or injuries), congenital abnormalities (like cleft lip/palate), or the removal of tumors. Surgeons utilize advanced techniques, including bone grafts, tissue flaps, and microsurgery, to rebuild facial structures, improve symmetry, and enhance appearance. The goal is not only aesthetic improvement but also to restore essential functions like breathing, chewing, and speaking. This complex procedure requires a highly skilled surgical team to achieve natural-looking, functional results that significantly improve a patient's quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three doctors with...

I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
