What Is Nose Reconstruction?

Nose reconstruction is meant to specifically address nasal repair and refinement that’s necessary after experiencing trauma (such as a car accident). Another physical alteration such as previous surgery, skin cancer removal, or a congenital defect.

It’s meant to restore functionality to the nose and, when needed, address cosmetic concerns as well. Dr. Lee will carefully examine and analyze your anatomical and cosmetic deficiencies, including a neck and head exam, and determine what is necessary to repair your specific issue. Based on your particular needs, he will create a treatment plan that’s based on the most optimal procedure in order to improve your quality of life.

What Happens During Nose Reconstruction?

Depending on the type of reconstruction your nose requires, the length of time for the surgery can vary. Most nasal reconstructions can be performed under local anesthesia.

Nasal reconstruction may require harvesting ear cartilage or septal cartilage in order to provide support to the nose. Furthermore, tissue from the nose may need to be rotated into different positions in order to correct a particular defect after skin cancer removal.

Sometimes tissue from the cheek or from the forehead will need to be used to reconstruct the nose. At your consultation for nose reconstruction Chelmsford plastic surgeon Dr. Lee will discuss all the options as well as give you a detailed surgical plan so you’ll know what to expect from your procedure.
