What Is Facial Reconstructive Surgery?
Facial reconstruction surgery is a broad term that ranges from the treatment of injuries from trauma to the treatment of congenital deformities, to reconstruction of defects from pathology. Injuries such as lacerations, fractured facial bones, or dental injuries often require facial reconstructive surgery. The goal is to restore the function and appearance of the patient’s face and dentition, helping them chew, speak, and smile comfortably. Beyond physical benefits, oral and facial reconstruction can also improve a patient’s emotional and psychological well-being by rebuilding confidence to enhance their quality of life. Each facial surgeon creates a patient-specific plan for each individual to meet their unique needs.
Who Benefits from Facial Reconstructive Surgery?
Facial reconstruction benefits individuals with injuries, congenital anomalies, or conditions requiring surgical correction of facial structure and function. Patients needing facial reconstruction services come from numerous situations where their oral and facial structures have been compromised due to injury, congenitally present, or due to pathology (i.e. tumors or lesions that have been removed). Reconstructive procedures are designed to restore the function of the face and enhance its appearance, helping patients regain confidence and improving quality of life. Patients may find these surgeries essential based on their specific condition or injury, including:
- Patients Recovering From Traumatic Injuries – Patients who suffer facial trauma, including fractures or avulsive injuries, often benefit from reconstruction surgery. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon addresses damage to bones, soft tissues, and teeth to restore their form and function.
- Patients Managing Tumor-Related Changes – Surgical procedures to remove oral or facial tumors, whether benign or malignant, may lead to tissue, dental, or bone structure loss. Maxillofacial surgery helps repair these areas, improving comfort and daily function.
- Age-Related Decline – Aging often reduces bone density or tissue volume, particularly when combined with early tooth loss. Facial reconstruction options can enhance and restore a more youthful facial appearance. Dental implants can also be utilized to maintain vital bone structure and improve a patient’s overall oral health.
- Congenital Deformities – Facial deformities and malformations can significantly impact a patient’s daily life. Reconstructive surgeries address structural imbalances or deficiencies to improve breathing, speech, esthetics, and chewing function.

- Corrective Jaw Surgery – Orthognathic surgery treats misaligned jaws that affect a patient’s jaw function and appearance. By combining orthodontics with surgical repositioning, this procedure can provide a harmonious and properly functioning bite, along with restoring facial balance and symmetry.
- Facial Trauma Treatment – Acute injuries to the face need specialized care to restore structure and function while promoting emotional healing. Our oral surgeons carefully address injuries to achieve long-term stability and aesthetic balance.
- Chin Surgery – Genioplasty focuses on enhancing a patient’s facial harmony by adjusting the size, projection, or shape of the chin. Whether for cosmetic or functional reasons, the results can help reach a balanced profile.

- Cleft Lip and Palate Repair – Defects left from cleft lip and palate repair can result in deficiencies in a patient’s upper jaw, as well as dentition.
