How can Dr. Kwan partner with you?

As with all other procedures available at Edmund Kwan, MD, Dr. Kwan will schedule a complimentary consultation with you. At this appointment, he’ll discuss options to treat your concerns, as well as the expected results from surgery and potential surgical complications. Prior to any procedure, Dr. Kwan talks about medications, supplements, and other lifestyle factors that may need to be adjusted to ensure treatment is successful, risks are minimized, and healing is fast and comfortable.

To help you better understand surgical treatment, the surgeon has also invested in the Vectra 3D imaging system. Dr. Kwan uses images of your face to illustrate how different procedures and techniques can improve, augment, or minimize facial features. These changes can be viewed by you and the doctor via a monitor, which renders a 3-Dimensional model of your face. You’ll get a great sense of the expected results from your procedure, and exactly how Dr. Kwan will expertly reconstruct your features.

Since facial reconstruction is very specific to each individual and his or her unique circumstances, this category of surgical procedures can mean a lot of different things. So, the methods that Dr. Kwan employs vary significantly from person to person. Below are just a few of the ways that Edmund Kwan, MD can help improve your life with facial reconstructive techniques, performed safely at his AAAASF-certified ambulatory surgical facility:

  • Some patients still have visible reminders of previous trauma in the form of disfiguring scars. These scars may be removed with a simple skin graft. Any incisions made by Dr. Kwan are skillfully closed, and well-hidden in natural creases or hairlines.
  • For patients with bony injuries, he may reposition affected bones in a way that results in a more aesthetically pleasing facial profile. A secondary reconstruction may involve the application of implants or fat induction techniques (for depressed surfaces). These methods are straightforward and proven effective at camouflaging fractures.
  • Patients left with large open areas of the face where cancers have been removed, may benefit from skin grafts or other tissue manipulation to fill in depressed surfaces.
