Facial Reconstruction

Restoring Form & Function

Repairs defects from trauma or cancer surgery, focusing on nose, jaw, or soft tissue reconstruction for natural results.

Recovery: 4–8 weeks

5 Key Benefits

Facial reconstruction addresses defects and deformities caused by trauma, cancer removal, burns, or disease. The face is uniquely complex — even minor defects can profoundly affect appearance, function, and self-esteem. Dr. Manandhar uses advanced techniques to restore natural facial contours while preserving or improving function.

Key Benefits

Restores natural facial contours and symmetry

Improves both appearance and function

Advanced microsurgical free flap techniques

Coordinated with cancer treatment teams

Personalised approach for each defect

About the Procedure

Facial reconstruction encompasses a wide range of procedures, from simple skin grafts and local flaps to complex microsurgical free tissue transfers. The approach is highly individualised, depending on the location, size, and nature of the defect.

Skin and Soft Tissue Reconstruction

Local flaps utilise adjacent tissue with similar colour and texture to close facial defects, producing the most natural-looking results. Regional and free flaps may be used for larger defects.

Nasal Reconstruction

Reconstruction of the nose is among the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery. Dr. Manandhar uses forehead flaps, ear cartilage grafts, and other techniques to recreate natural nasal shape and airway function.

Jaw and Mandible Reconstruction

Bone defects of the jaw are reconstructed using bone grafts or microvascular free fibula flaps, restoring the ability to eat, speak, and maintain facial shape.

Am I a Candidate?

Patients who have undergone surgery for facial cancer, experienced traumatic facial injuries, or have facial deformities from other causes are candidates. A thorough consultation helps determine the most appropriate reconstructive approach.
