Repairing Birth Abnormalities

If your child is born with an unusual physical feature or birthmark, a plastic surgeon may be able to correct it. Rely on us to reshape or rebuild noses, ears/ear deformities, eyelids, and other features. We’ll work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that takes into account your child’s age, overall health, and specific condition, as well as your preferences.

Treating Facial Paralysis

After a diagnosis of facial paralysis—an inability to move one side of the face—reconstructive surgery can help:

• Restore your ability to speak
• Renew facial muscle movement
• Relieve spontaneous twitching

A surgeon will work to replace damaged nerves and muscles or reconnect nerves. If your paralysis followed an accident or injury, seek surgical care as soon as possible to improve your outcome.

Speed your recovery with rehabilitation—such as physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a common, chronic but treatable skin condition that cause blushing/flushing and visible blood vessels in your face.  Rosacea can produce small, pus-filled bumps, and can be mistaken for acne, other skin problems, or natural ruddiness. These signs and symptoms may flare up for weeks to months and then go away for a while. Over time, untreated rosacea can thicken the skin on the nose, causing the nose to appear bulbous (rhinophyma). This occurs more often in men than in women.
