Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu offer facial reconstruction options for patients who have suffered facial trauma (such as adult facial bone fractures), nasal fractures in patients of all ages, or breathing problems. Both of our doctors at SVIA Sacramento have gained much of their reconstruction expertise from treating children born with facial abnormalities.
Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu are accustomed to working with the delicate features of the face and have a history of providing patients with proportionate, aesthetically-minded results. They utilize reconstructive techniques that aid the face in healing symmetrically and help their patients achieve their cosmetic goals.
Treatment
Treatment to resolve breathing problems begins with a nasal exam. This exam is used to determine if an anatomic obstruction is impacting airflow and if rhinoplasty can be used to correct the issue. Although cosmetic rhinoplasty is not covered by health insurance providers, reconstructive rhinoplasty may be a covered benefit for patients suffering from breathing problems. Since Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu consider the important aesthetic role of the nose when performing any rhinoplasty surgery, many patients are able to address any cosmetic concerns during the same operation. Since the cosmetic portion is not covered by insurance, there may be additional fees. Employing an open rhinoplasty technique, our plastic surgeons can repair functionality and address cosmetic concerns while preserving the nose’s natural cartilage. After a single small incision is made directly beneath the nose, all other incisions can be hidden within the nose.
