Nasal Reconstruction The Woodlands
nasal reconstruction
The nose is unique in that it possesses both aesthetic and functional characteristics. Removal of skin cancer leads to a wound that needs to be reconstructed to maintain the shape of the nose and preserve its function and aesthetics. In addition to skin cancer, trauma is also a common cause for reconstructive problems such as broken bones which obstruct the airway and possibly change its appearance.

In the case of skin cancer, ideally, you will meet Dr. Correa prior to removal of the cancer in order to discuss the expected defect and the method to reconstruct it. This can be anything from simple closure, to a skin graft, to using local tissue as a ‘flap’ to cover the wound. Inherent in the treatment of cancer is a component of unpredictability. Most often, nasal skin cancer is removed by a Moh’s surgeon (a dermatologist with special training to remove the minimal amount of extra tissue to obtain clean margins) and the subsequent wound is then treated by a plastic surgeon.

Thankfully, the recovery for most nasal reconstruction is relatively mild and often doesn’t require prescription pain medicine. However, depending upon the complexity of what is done, the recovery period can be longer – for example, if a staged surgery needs to be done.Individual results may vary
OUR PHILOSOPHY
nasal reconstruction
“Nasal reconstruction represents a special interest of mine. It incorporates many principles of plastic surgery and requires a great level of attention to detail. Few other operations require a balanced approach to structure, function, and aesthetics.”
