How are Facial Reconstruction Procedures Performed in Baltimore?
Below you will find a brief overview of the facial reconstruction procedures performed at Baltimore’s Facial Plastic Surgicenter.
- Ear Lobe Repair is a procedure that lasts 30-45 minutes with the goal to restore the natural shape of the earlobes. Common problems include tears through the bottom, or keloids from old piercings.. It is performed under a local anesthesia and after about 4-6 weeks patients may get their ears pierced again.
- Scar Revision has the goal of reducing the appearance or a wide, raised or highly visible scar. This procedure uses the natural creases in one’s face to make the scar less noticeable. The length of scar revision varies depending on the patient’s scars.
- Skin Cancer Treatment is utilized by patients who have numerous, unsightly moles and may be genetically predisposed for skin cancer. A skin sample (biopsy) may be taken using microscopic examination, and if cancer is detected our doctors will remove it. This procedure varies depending on the size and growth; Dr. Papel and Dr. Kontis simply excise and repair the cancer or use a topical anticancer treatment. However, if the skin cancer is found in a specialized area such as the nose or corner of the eye then Mohs Reconstruction may be required. This is an extremely effective option and it also reduces the chances of its reoccurrence. The area where the cancer is will be reconstructed by Dr. Papel or Dr. Kontis with minimal visible scarring.
- Facial Lacerations and Fractures are repaired at Facial Plastic Surgicenter. This helps recreate the original facial appearance and restore function . The technique used depends on the severity and location of the laceration or fracture.
- Microtia Repair is an area of expertise of Dr. Papel and Dr. Kontis, and it is used for children who have severe abnormalities of the ear or a complete absence of ears. This reconstructive surgery can improve both the appearance of the ears and the hearing ability. Ear reconstruction is an extremely delicate procedure that produces significant results for children suffering from the birth deformity, microtia.
