Necessary Reconstructive Plastic Surgeries After an Accident

by

Dr. Ankur SoodAccidents are bound to happen. Be it burns, car accidents or even simple slips and falls will leave you with injuries. Since some of the injuries may not heal normally, you should consider undergoing reconstructive plastic surgery.

Although plastic surgery is associated with movie stars and other celebrities, it can help you regain your once beautiful body. There are three main surgeries that you can undergo after an accident: facial surgery, body surgery and skin surgery.

Facial surgery

An accident can leave you with a misshapen face. Common accidents that cause injury to the face are car accidents. During the accident, you may hit your face on the dashboard or windshield which can result to great damage to the nose and lips. To correct the damage, you need a reconstructive surgeon.

If you have broken your nose, the surgeon will get cartilage from your ribs and insert them in your nose. If you had cut your lips during the accident, the surgeon will stitch together the torn lips so that they can heal properly.

In addition to the surgeon working on your lips and nose, the surgeon is also able to work on your chin, cheek, ear, eye and even your eyelid. If need be, the reconstructive surgeon will give you a facelift or even the good old fashioned hair transplantation.

Skin surgery

After a tragic accident, the skin naturally heals by scarring. In some cases, the scars may be too large and cover large parts of the body. In severe cases, the scars can become red and swollen.

To reduce the size of the large scar, a reconstructive surgeon works on your skin. The surgeon carefully cuts away the old dead tissue and redoes the previous incision. This way, the scar becomes smaller and more hidden from the public eye.

Other than accidents causing large scars, burns can also result to large scars, which make the skin eye sore. Burns not only cause large scars, but they also reduce the skin’s flexibility in the affected area.

If you have been burnt and your skin’s flexibility has been affected, you can get help through plastic surgery. To repair your skin, the surgeon uses peel light, peel deep, micro-pigmentation or skin tightening, to ensure that you regain your previous skin.

Body surgery

Accidents can affect any part of the body. Regardless of the part of the body affected, a reconstructive surgeon will work on it. In most road accidents, it’s common for people to injure or lose their appendage.

For example, you may lose one of your thumbs. Losing a thumb is devastating since it prevents you from performing simple tasks that you used to do before. For example, you may be unable to tie your shoe laces.

In such a case, the surgeon can insert a prosthetic thumb. If it proves difficult for you to work with the prosthetic thumb, the surgeon can remove your big toe and use it as a thumb replacement. Although, this will lender you toe-less, you will be able to resume you normal duties.

In addition to the surgeon working on your lips and nose, the surgeon is also able to work on your chin, cheek, ear, eye and even your eyelid. If need be, the reconstructive surgeon will give you a facelift or even the good old fashioned hair transplantation.
