Facial reconstructive surgery is performed to restore both form and function to areas of the face affected by trauma, disease, birth defects, cancer and Mohs surgery, or previous surgical complications. Unlike cosmetic surgery, which focuses on aesthetic enhancement, reconstructive procedures address medical and structural concerns to help patients regain comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve correcting defects in the eyelids, orbital bones, or soft tissues.
