Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

About Us

Our USF Health Otolaryngology team is proud to offer patients comprehensive care for the skin, eyes, brows, ears, nose, lips, face and neck. Our experts provide both aesthetic and reconstructive care, offering patients non-surgical and surgical facial rejuvenation services, reconstruction after trauma or skin cancer/Mohs surgery and facial nerve reanimation.  

There exists a range of reasons for facial plastic surgery, which may include facial reconstructive surgery after an accident or illness, or to enhance appearance and improve quality of life. Subtle procedures are designed to boost self-confidence and accentuate one's natural beauty.

When a person has undergone treatment for skin cancer, or has endured facial trauma, surgical intervention may be an option to improve function as well as aesthetics.  

Our board-certified providers guide their patients through a step by step process to assess their goals, and to create a treatment plan tailored to suit their individual needs. We offer services for patients of all ages.

Microtia  Repair Surgeries

Microtia Repair Surgery

USF Health leads this region in Microtia Repair Surgeries

Microtia is a congenital condition where one or both external ears are under developed. It occurs during the first few weeks of pregnancy and can vary in severity, ranging from a slightly smaller ear to a complete absence of the external ear. Microtia can affect hearing, especially if the ear canal is also underdeveloped or absent, a condition known as aural atresia.

Surgery Options:

  • Autologous Reconstruction: Uses the patient’s own rib cartilage to construct anew ear. Typically involves multiple stages: harvesting cartilage, shaping the ear framework, and placing it under the skin.
  • Medpor Reconstruction: Utilizes a synthetic material (Medpor) to create the ear framework.. Often completed in fewer stages compared to autologous reconstruction.
  • Prosthetic Ears: Custom-made prosthetic ears that attach to the head using adhesives or implants.. Suitable for patients who prefer a non-surgical option or are not candidates for surgery.

Surgery Process:

  • Consultation: Detailed evaluation of the patient’s condition and medical history. Discussion of goals, expectations, and suitable surgical options.
  • Surgery: Performed under general anesthesia. Multiple stages may be required, especially for autologous reconstruction.
  • Recovery: Post-operative care includes monitoring for complications and managing discomfort. Follow-up appointments to assess healing and the success of the reconstruction.

Common In-Office Procedures:

  • Chemo-denervation (Botox) Injections
  • Dermal Fillers for Wrinkles
  • Scar Treatment
