Is the Procedure Painful?

Discomfort is typically mild to moderate after face and eyelid reconstruction surgery and is well-controlled with prescribed medication. Most Elite Plastic Surgery patients describe their recovery as manageable rather than painful, especially with proper aftercare.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

Procedure length will depend on the size and location of the defect. Some reconstructions take under an hour, while more complex cases may require several.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Most patients in the Phoenix and Chandler area need a consultation, the reconstructive procedure, and one or more follow-up visits to monitor healing. Additional appointments may be needed for staged reconstruction or refinement.

How Long Until I See Results?

Initial improvements are visible immediately, but swelling can temporarily obscure results. As healing progresses over the next several weeks, the reconstructed area will soften, and the final results will become more apparent.

Will I Have a Visible Scar?

Incisions are placed along natural facial lines, eyelid creases, or existing contours whenever possible so they blend in as healing progresses. The eyelids, in particular, tend to heal exceptionally well. Over time, scars typically soften, fade, and become difficult to notice, especially when proper aftercare instructions are followed.

Can I Combine a Face + Eyelid Reconstruction with Other Procedures?

In select cases, reconstruction can be combined with additional facial or eyelid procedures, depending on the size of the defect, overall health, and surgical timing. Your Elite Plastic Surgery surgeon will evaluate whether combining procedures is safe and appropriate, prioritizing both recovery and long-term results.

Face + Eyelid Reconstruction Risks And Complications

Potential risks of face and eyelid reconstruction surgery include infection, bleeding, delayed healing, scarring, asymmetry, and temporary changes in sensation. Eyelid reconstruction surgery carries additional risk of its own, such as dryness, irritation, or changes in eyelid position, though these are uncommon. Your Elite Plastic Surgery surgeon will review all potential risks in detail before surgery and provide clear aftercare instructions.

Introduction

Reclaim Your Appearance with Face + Eyelid Reconstruction.

If you have found yourself dealing with a cancerous or precancerous facial lesion, it’s likely that your surgeon will be considering Mohs surgery as a solution. This treatment method involves a trained surgeon carefully scraping one layer of skin away from the treatment area at a time. As each layer of skin is carefully removed, it will be tested for cancerous cells. This process will be repeated until your surgeon reaches a layer with no remaining cancer cells.

While this is a highly effective and reliable method for treating cancerous facial lesions, it also leaves a noticeable divot or a missing section in the treatment area. When performed on the face, Mohs surgery can leave behind a relatively deep depression. If performed on the eyelid, Mohs surgery may result in a small section of the eyelid missing, which can have both cosmetic and functional implications. In either case, the facial reconstruction experts at Elite Plastic Surgery can help you complete your medical journey by restoring your face and/or eyelids.

What is Face + Eyelid Reconstruction?

Mohs surgery is a common and highly effective surgical treatment method used to address the presence of cancerous or precancerous facial lesions. While this procedure is an effective way to resolve potentially dangerous lesions, it also leaves a notable effect on the patient’s appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate for Face + Eyelid Reconstruction?

Most patients who have undergone Mohs surgery on the face or eyelids are excellent candidates for reconstruction.

If cancer removal left behind missing tissue, altered eyelid shape, or functional concerns such as irritation, dryness, or difficulty blinking, reconstruction is typically recommended.

During your consultation at Elite Plastic Surgery, your surgeon will evaluate the size, depth, and location of the defect, along with your overall health, to determine the safest and most effective reconstructive approach.

Benefits of Face + Eyelid Reconstruction

After Mohs surgery, reconstruction helps rebuild missing tissue, protect eye health, and preserve natural facial symmetry. Patients benefit from improved eyelid movement, better eye protection and moisture, and results that blend seamlessly with surrounding features.

Just as important, reconstruction allows you to move forward knowing your treatment was handled completely, thoughtfully, and with long-term outcomes in mind.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Eyelid reconstruction and facial reconstruction require an impressively in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, eyelid musculature, and the delicate structures that form your face and eyelid areas. The good news is that the surgical team at Elite Plastic Surgery is known for its extensive training and commitment to surgical excellence. Our team will work with you to develop a treatment plan that ensures your Mohs surgery site is expertly reconstructed.

This procedure is never performed the same way twice, and the details of your surgical plan will vary depending on the specifics of your Mohs procedure. Facial reconstruction typically involves grafting or tissue transplantation. Your surgeon will explain the procedure to you in detail and give you the chance to ask any questions that you might have about how facial reconstruction works during your pre-operative consultation.

Eyelid surgery is a more delicate process and requires an intimate knowledge of the musculature and tissue structures that make up your eyelids. Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, and Dr. Ramyar Torabi will carefully restore the tissues and muscles of your eyelid so they function properly, keeping your eyes healthy and moisturized while ensuring your results are naturalistic and blend well with your facial features.

What to Expect During Your Consultation for Face + Eyelid Reconstruction

Your surgeon will review your Mohs surgery details, examine the treatment area, and assess the surrounding skin and tissue quality. You’ll discuss reconstructive options, surgical timing, and achievable outcomes.
