Facial Prosthetics

 

Sometimes a patient is not a candidate for reconstructive surgery. In the event of a traumatic injury, cancer resection, or congenital condition such as microtia, an alternative to surgery is prosthetic treatment. Our staff anaplastologist, Erin Donaldson, will custom fit, sculpt, paint, and deliver a prosthesis. She will work with each patient in one-on-one portrait sessions, and also reference photographs of the patient prior to illness or injury. It is important to note that a prosthesis is not a permanent part of the body. Our prostheses are fabricated from medical grade silicone, and are worn daily much like a pair of eyeglasses. The prosthesis is held on by using skin adhesives or attached through osseointegrated implants. Our surgical team will discuss these options with you before beginning prosthetic treatment. Below are some of the options we provide:
