The Facial Reconstruction Procedure

Techniques and types of surgery vary depending on the area treated and degree of facial reconstruction needed. Dr. Campbell strives to keep up with new advancements in facial reconstruction for his patients in the Milwaukee and Sheboygan, Wisconsin area. With his training and experience in reconstructive surgery, Dr. Campbell can reconstruct even large disfiguring facial defects so that they are almost undetectable to the untrained eye.

Skin Cancer Removal

The most common type of reconstructive surgery performed at Campbell Facial Plastic Surgery in Wisconsin is the correction of defects after skin cancer removal. The skin cancer is first removed by Dr. Aloys Tauscheck, dermatologist, or other area surgeon specially trained in Mohs micrographic surgery – an effective technique for removing skin cancers while reducing the chances that the cancer will return. Mohs surgery leaves an unsightly defect that typically requires a complex closure. Depending on the area and type of reconstruction needed, the procedure may include the use of skin or cartilage grafts, local skin flaps, and/or regional muscle/skin flaps.

Ear (Auricular) Reconstruction

Dr. Campbell can also perform ear (auricular) reconstruction. To create an entirely new ear, rib cartilage is harvested to make the framework, and tissue from the temple area is used for a for covering. A skin graft from the leg is then used to cover the new ear. This type of ear reconstruction surgery requires several stages and may take many months to complete, but can be invaluable for those who have lost an ear due to injury or who were born without an external ear structure.

Recovery Following Facial Reconstruction

Recovery varies greatly depending on the area treated and the amount of reconstructive surgery performed. Swelling and bruising are common following surgery and typically heal within two weeks. Sutures are generally removed five to seven days after the surgery. Any scars that result from the procedure will become less noticeable over time.
