Nasal / Lip / Ear Reconstruction
Nasal, lip, and ear reconstruction restores form and function after trauma, cancer, or congenital conditions. At AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre, Dr. Zameer Abbas Mir (FCPS, Plastic Surgery) provides comprehensive facial reconstruction using advanced flap, graft, and cartilage techniques to rebuild contour, preserve airway and oral competence, and achieve natural aesthetics.
Our goal is simple: repair missing or damaged tissue with durable, lifelike results that support breathing, speech, hearing aid/eyewear fit, and facial expression.
What Is Nasal / Lip / Ear Reconstruction?
These procedures restore critical facial units—the nose (for breathing and symmetry), the lips (for speech, eating, and expression), and the ear (for contour, glasses support, and balance). Reconstruction may be performed in stages and often uses tissue borrowed locally or from distant sites, with cartilage or fascia for structure. Plans are personalized to defect size, depth, skin quality, and function.
Reconstruction Options We Offer
Nasal Reconstruction
Local and Regional Flaps: Bilobed, nasolabial, dorsal nasal, and paramedian forehead flaps matched to defect size and location.
Cartilage and Support Grafts: Septal, auricular, or costal cartilage for tip/ala support and airway stability.
Lining Restoration: Septal hinge, turbinate, or fascia-based solutions for full-thickness defects.
Staged Refinement: Thinning, contouring, and symmetry adjustments for optimal definition.
Lip Reconstruction
Functional Repair: Precise alignment of vermilion and orbicularis muscle for oral competence and articulation.
Local Flaps by Defect Size: Primary repair, advancement/rotation flaps, Abbe or Karapandzic techniques for larger losses.
Aesthetic Border Recreation: Cupid’s bow and white roll restoration for natural expression.
Ear (Auricular) Reconstruction
Partial Defects: Local chondrocutaneous flaps and skin grafts to restore rim/helix/antihelix.
Complex/Total Reconstruction: Framework sculpting (autologous cartilage) or staged reconstruction; earlobe/earhole repair as needed.
Contour and Symmetry: Shaping for eyewear fit and balanced silhouette.
The Reconstruction Procedure
Our process ensures comfort, safety, and precision at every step:
1. Consultation: You’ll meet Dr. Zameer Abbas to assess defect size, depth (skin/soft tissue/cartilage/lining), and functional needs.
2. Preparation: Planning includes flap/graft selection, staging strategy, and scar placement for optimal camouflage.
3. Restoration: Tissue is transferred or advanced to restore cover, lining (when needed), and structural support.
4. Refinement: Secondary adjustments improve contour, thickness, and symmetry for lifelike results.
5. Recovery: You’ll receive detailed wound care, scar care, and follow-up schedules to support healing and function.
Most patients see immediate restoration of contour; refinement continues for weeks to months as swelling settles and scars mature.
Recovery & Aftercare
After surgery, expect temporary swelling and tenderness.
Wound and dressing care with hygiene guidance
Scar modulation (taping/silicone), massage, and sun protection
Speech/chewing guidance for lip cases; breathing care for nasal cases
Timed follow-ups; staged refinements where indicated
