Reconstructive Facial Surgery

Mr Juling Ong is a Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon who specialises in reconstructive facial surgery.

Reconstructive surgery procedures

Reconstructive facial surgery is used to restore or improve the function and appearance of the face, which has either been affected by a congenital defect such as cleft lip and palate or a craniofacial deformity or, at a later stage in life, by trauma, infection or disease.

Mr Juling Ong is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who focuses on reconstructive surgery to the face, using different procedures and techniques to produce an often life-changing transformation. This can include skin grafts or flaps, repositioning or remodelling of the facial bones and soft tissue reconstruction or transfer. Nerve and muscle damage will also be repaired with microsurgery if possible.

Facial trauma can be the result of accidents, particularly car accidents, violence or burns. Diseases such as skin cancer can also require reconstructive facial surgery to repair any damage during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during reconstructive facial surgery?

Mr Juling Ong will carefully plan your procedure or, in some cases, a series of operations and this will be discussed in full with you beforehand. Procedures can range from very simple to highly complex operations, most of which will be performed under a general anaesthetic.

All the potential risks and complications will have also been discussed with you, but the benefits of reconstructive facial surgery typically outweigh any possible problems. Your recovery will depend on the extent of the procedure.

What are the main techniques used in reconstructive facial surgery?

The main techniques used to repair and restore the face after trauma are the following:

Skin grafts; a healthy patch of skin is taken from one area of the body – known as the donor site – to cover the damaged or missing skin. To keep this new skin alive in its new location, blood vessels need to grow into it. A partial skin graft or split thickness skin graft takes only the surface layers of the skin and is often used to treat burns. A full thickness skin graft means taking the entire dermis and is only used for relatively small defects and the donor site needs to be closed afterwards. A composite graft takes layers of skin, fat and even cartilage to fill a small, contoured area.

Tissue expansion; in this procedure, extra skin is ‘grown’ by inserting an expander under the skin and gradually filling it with saline so the skin stretches.

Local flaps; tissue from adjacent to the wound is lifted and moved to reconstruct the defect. This is a very useful technique in the face as it results in the reconstruction of the wound with skin from the face or neck.

Free flap surgery; this entails transferring tissue and a blood vessel which is necessary to keep it alive when moved to a new area of the face or body and this means that a larger area can be transferred than by a skin graft. 

What results can I expect during reconstructive facial surgery?

The main aim of surgery is to restore function to normal, but Mr Juling Ong will also try to minimise the visual impact of the trauma. It is often not possible to completely restore the patient’s pre-injury appearance and Mr Ong will try and provide you with a good understanding of what to expect from surgery.

During your consultation, Mr Juling Ong will explain all potential risks and discuss your treatment options in full. Please call us on‬ 020 7927 6528 or email us at info@julingong.com to arrange an appointment.

I saw Dr Juling for a very complicated problem from the past with multiple corrections before.I can tell for sure now... he is one of the best surgeons I can find in London! I had few consultations with him before the surgery. Comparing to other surgeons, he is confident, high skilled, patient and a good listener. All consultations including free follow up were almost 1 hour long without any rush at all,We finally decided to do few procedures including a facelift to address my concerns and repair the face.Fast forward to the day, he made a very detailed & tailored plan. Despite it involves a standard facelift, he didn’t cut into my hairline.I was able to meet friends from day 3. Despite expected swelling, my incision is so short and neat. All my friends would want to see him now. Comparing my incision to some “famous surgeon work”, I can clearly tell how talent he is. My incision is way more short and neat. There is no tension at all at surface level.Juling has the best manner too. He never judges me but listens to my concern and works with me. Whenever I email him my concerns, he always gets back to me so quickly and provides detailed suggestions/advices. I feel incredibly lucky to find him, and I will go no one else if I need anything in future. His work is incredible, amazing and much better than some heavily advertised, highly charged surgeons. I strongly recommend you seeing him if you need anything done/fixed and want to find a kind heart, professional and super talented surgeon.read more
