Facial Reconstruction (Trauma / Cancer)
Facial reconstruction restores structure, function, and natural appearance after trauma or cancer surgery. At AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre, Dr. Zameer Abbas Mir (FCPS, Plastic Surgery) provides comprehensive Facial Reconstruction in Lahore—combining precise soft‑tissue repair, skeletal stabilization, flap/graft techniques, and staged refinements to rebuild facial units while protecting breathing, speech, vision, and expression.
Our goal is simple: reestablish facial form and function with durable, lifelike results that blend seamlessly with surrounding features.
What Is Facial Reconstruction (Trauma / Cancer)?
Facial reconstruction addresses defects from accidents, burns, tumor removal, or previous surgeries. Treatment may involve bone fixation, cartilage support, soft‑tissue repositioning, and skin coverage using local, regional, or microsurgical flaps. Plans are individualized by facial subunit (nose, lips, eyelids, cheeks, jawline), depth of loss (skin, muscle, bone, lining), and functional priorities (airway, eyelid closure, oral competence).
Reconstruction Options We Offer
Soft‑Tissue Repair and Scar Optimization
Precise layered closure, nerve‑sparing techniques, and strategic scar placement along relaxed skin tension lines.
Z‑plasty/geometry for contracture release; staged scar refinement for texture and alignment.
Skeletal Stabilization and Contour
Fracture fixation (orbital, zygomatic, nasal, maxillary, mandibular) to restore projection and symmetry.
Grafts/plates as indicated for structural integrity and facial width/height balance.
Local/Regional Flaps and Skin Grafts
Subunit‑based flaps (nasolabial, forehead, cheek advancement/rotation) with color/texture match.
Full‑thickness or split‑thickness grafts where suitable for stable coverage.
Microsurgical (Free‑Flap) Reconstruction
Vascularized tissue transfer for large or composite defects (skin, muscle, bone), restoring durability and contour when local tissue is insufficient.
Functional Unit Reconstruction
Eyelids: protect cornea, restore blink and closure.
Lips: reestablish oral competence, speech clarity, and symmetry.
Nose: rebuild lining, support, and skin cover to preserve airway and shape.
Cheek/Perioral: restore support to lower eyelid and oral commissure.
Mandible/Maxilla: occlusion support and facial projection.
Aesthetic Refinements and Symmetry
Fat grafting, debulking, contouring, and tattooing (when appropriate) to refine thickness, color, and border transitions.
Secondary adjustments for nostril shape, vermilion border, eyelid margin, and brow position.
The Reconstruction Process
Our process ensures comfort, safety, and precision at every step:
1. Consultation: You’ll meet Dr. Zameer Abbas for detailed assessment of defect depth, involved subunits, and functional needs; expectations and staging are discussed.
2. Preparation: Imaging (when needed), flap/graft planning, and scar/crease mapping for maximal camouflage and function.
3. Restoration: Bone and soft tissue are restored in priority order—structure, lining, cover—using the least complex solution that achieves durable results.
4. Refinement: Staged contouring and symmetry procedures enhance definition and natural transitions.
5. Recovery: You’ll receive clear wound/scar care, therapy guidance (if needed), and a structured follow-up schedule.
Most patients see immediate restoration of contour and protection; swelling decreases over weeks, with continued refinement for several months as scars mature.
Recovery & Aftercare
Expect staged healing and progressive improvements.
Wound care, edema control, and sun protection for scars
Eye lubrication and protection for eyelid reconstructions
Speech/chewing guidance after lip or jaw procedures
Planned reviews for secondary refinement (scar, contour, or symmetry)
Results You Can Expect
Restored facial landmarks with natural subunit borders
Improved function (airway, eyelid protection, oral competence, mastication)
Subtle scars aligned with creases for better camouflage
Every procedure at AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre is performed with precision to ensure outcomes that are functional, stable, and aesthetically harmonious.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes—after a one‑to‑one consultation, a personalized plan is created based on your goals, medical history, and examination. If a treatment is not suitable, safer alternatives and clear next steps are provided.
Expect a calm, step‑by‑step process: consultation and consent, preparation, the procedure itself with comfort measures, and immediate post‑care guidance. Typical appointments include brief photography for planning and outcome tracking.
Most patients resume light activities the same day or within a few days, depending on the service. Early improvements are often visible quickly, with refinement continuing over the following weeks as healing or remodeling completes.
All treatments have potential risks such as temporary swelling, redness, or sensitivity, which usually settle with proper aftercare. You’ll receive clear pre‑ and post‑treatment instructions and direct follow‑up to minimize risks and support a smooth recovery.
Pricing depends on the treatment type, complexity, and whether sessions are combined or staged. You’ll receive a transparent quote after consultation, including pre‑procedure preparation, the procedure itself, and written aftercare with planned follow‑ups.
