SCAR REVISIONS

Before

After

Facial disfigurement from injury can occur in a fraction of a second and cause life-long emotional, as well as physical, scarring. While early cleansing and meticulous closure in the emergency room is important, permanent scarring may be unsightly and cause distortion of facial features.

At the time of your initial consultation, an assessment is made of the thickness, texture and color of the deforming scars. A computerized facial analysis detects distortions of facial features. A complete examination by Dr. Rose focuses on functional abnormalities (e.g., facial weakness, dysfunction of chewing or smiling, corneal exposure, etc.).

Aesthetic facial restoration entails removal of unsightly contracting scars and rebalancing of facial features by innovative methods of tissue re-arrangement. If bony architecture of the face has been destroyed, a three-dimensional computer imaging of the defect is created. Using this image, a model of a porous, bony-like substance is precisely carved and inset into the deficient facial framework like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle. This process allows for recreation of facial shape and symmetry.

After surgery, you will be taught camouflage techniques by a skilled make-up artist to hide incisional sites and blend in blemishes. A custom blended foundation is formulated by our aesthetician to match your skin tone and further hide residual scarring.
