Facial deformities can be a source of continuous embarrassment and low self esteem for an individual. Such facial deformities might be the result of a face injury, trauma, cancer surgery, or even other surgeries. However, with facial reconstruction, Dr. Kwan can help you step out of the shadows and be proud of your face and your overall profile. Dr. Kwan uses his technical expertise and fifteen years of experience to judge how patients with facial deformities can be helped.

Some patients may have suffered facial trauma and may be left only with disfiguring scars. If there is no bony injury at all, Dr. Kwan removes the scars with a simple skin graft or closes it up leaving a nearly invisible thin line.

For patients with bony injuries, Dr. Edmund Kwan focuses on place reductions of the broken bones. The affected bones are broken up again and repositioned to give a more aesthetically pleasing profile to the face. If patients are still unhappy with the end result, they are taken in for secondary reconstruction. In secondary reconstruction, Dr. Kwan may use simple implants or fat induction techniques for depressed areas. Both these methods adopted by Dr. Kwan are straight forward and effective in camouflaging fractures.

Cancer patients suffer the most from large facial defects. Patients may be left with large open areas in the face where the cancer has been removed. Depending on how long it has been since surgery, Dr. Kwan assesses whether to use skin grafts or to elevate flaps or even rearrange tissues to fill in the deformed area. Although these are Dr. Kwan’s commonly used set of techniques, he also presents patients with a variety of other options which will help them achieve their aesthetic dreams.

Facial reconstruction can be a life-changing procedure in a patient’s life. The Dr. Kwan’s ultimate goal is to help patients find a way to realize their aesthetic ambitions irrespective of how gloomy the situation might look.
