Reconstructive Surgery Procedures
During the initial consultation, Dr. Sherris will evaluate your condition and map out the best course of treatment to meet your objectives. The surgery is specifically tailored to each individual's unique needs, which may include:
- Nose reconstruction - Dr. Sherris can rebuild the nose using the patient's own cartilage, bone, skin, and membranes.
- Facial reanimation - Various techniques are used to restore the muscles in the face that have been paralyzed due to nerve injury. The surgery can correct the "drooping" appearance of the face, as well as restore some degree of facial movement. The patient's own muscle, tissue, and possibly implants are used.
- Lip reconstruction - Using the patient's own tissues and fat, Dr. Sherris can reconstruct the lips to look and function properly.
- Skin grafting - Dr. Sherris can transplant healthy skin from one body part onto the area of the face where skin has been lost or severely damaged.
- Ear reconstruction - Dr. Sherris can rebuild the ears using transplanted cartilage for patients who have experienced loss or damage.
