Facial Reconstruction

Patients suffering from facial injuries that impede function or distort features, have congenital defects, skin cancer or cancers on sensitive areas such as the nose, lips, ears and eyelids may be ideal candidates. Candidates should also have realistic expectations and a positive attitude towards the procedure.

The cost for facial reconstructive surgery depends on the procedure but it generally ranges from $5000-$35,000.The final cost varies by hospital or surgical facility fees, any necessary medical tests, anesthesia fees, the surgeon’s level of expertise, the geographic location of the procedure and how many procedures are performed at the same time.

The aim of facial reconstructive surgery is to restore normal facial appearance.  The time needed for recovery varies with each procedure. Full recovery may be as short as a few weeks or as long as a year. Pain medications can be taken to deal with minor pains. The results can last the rest of the patient's life as long as all necessary instructions are followed.
