Facial reconstruction aims to restore appearance or function after injury, burns, tumour removal, congenital differences or scarring.
Local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia is selected according to the repair, extent of the defect and assessment by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
The doctor determines the method and duration after examination, review of your records and assessment of the extent of treatment.
The need for admission and timing of discharge depend on the method, anaesthesia and your general health. Obtain a plan from the medical centre before travelling.
Allow time for rest, care of the treated area and help after discharge. You will receive instructions specific to the procedure.
Arrange the next examination and, when necessary, removal of sutures or dressings with the clinical team. Your return journey should fit this plan.
Work, exercise and travel depend on healing and medical clearance; there is no single timetable for everyone.
Facial reconstructive surgery addresses defects caused by injuries, burns, tumours, congenital differences or scars. The method and goals depend on the tissues involved and whether the priority is appearance, function or both.
Depending on the extent of reconstruction, initial healing can take several weeks. Follow your surgeon’s individual plan.
Closure of the wound and healing of deep tissues do not mean the final appearance is complete.
Bruising and swelling may occur. Increasing pain or swelling, fever or discharge need assessment.
Returning to work depends on the site, your job and healing; one timetable does not suit everyone.
Start strenuous activity or tension on the repair only after the surgeon permits it.
Swelling and scar maturation may take months. Continue reviews to assess the result.
Treatment and travel are coordinated around your circumstances and the agreed care plan.
Your records and expectations are collected to arrange a specialist consultation. Requests for further information are followed up before travel.
Consultations and visits are arranged according to the doctor’s and medical centre’s schedules.
Interpreter and travel support can be coordinated to assist communication with your doctor and medical centre.
Post-treatment visits and online follow-up, when available, are considered in accordance with the doctor’s plan.
Before travelling, check insurance coverage, exclusions and approval requirements with your insurer in your country of residence.
Contact the Medisa team to discuss your request and arrange an initial consultation.
An estimate follows review of your records and a treatment plan. Request an up-to-date written proposal that distinguishes treatment costs from travel services.
The extent of facial damage, affected areas, bone or soft-tissue repair and possible staged reconstruction affect the estimate. The required procedures and stages are determined after specialist assessment.
The estimate should specify consultations, examinations, surgeon and team fees, theatre, anaesthesia, tests and required medicines. Team expertise and surgical complexity can affect the cost.
Public or private care, required facilities, admission length and equipment or materials may change costs. Clinical need guides the choice of technique and device.
Compare the same procedure, stages, included and excluded services, follow-up and payment terms. For a comparison between Iran and other countries, obtain current quotes for equivalent services; one fixed price cannot apply to every patient.
Treatment coordination may be considered with or without accommodation. Confirm the chosen option and all included services in writing before travelling.
For a person arranging their own stay, treatment, consultations, tests, necessary admission and follow-up can be coordinated according to the agreed plan. Costs and exclusions should be stated separately.
Accommodation can be considered according to your condition and the required stay. Confirm nights, hotel category, breakfast or meals, companion arrangements and transfers in the written proposal before booking.
Where requested and available, visa coordination, interpreting, airport and city transfers and a SIM card or internet can be considered. Entry and visa approval follow the relevant rules. Check insurance coverage, exclusions and costs outside the package with the relevant provider before travel.
The stages depend on the defect. The surgeon assesses appearance and function, scarring and anaesthesia. Some scars may be treated with local or pressure treatments, injections or surface procedures. Deeper defects may need scar removal, a skin graft or a tissue flap. Wounds are closed appropriately, sometimes in layers, followed by care and review. Several techniques or stages may be needed.
Different methods may be considered for defects after injury, burns, tumour removal, congenital differences or scarring. Treatment and functional or cosmetic goals vary.
No. Depth and extent may call for local treatment, injections, scar revision, a skin graft or tissue transfer. More than one stage may be necessary; the surgeon selects the method.
Initial healing may take weeks and further recovery months, depending on the reconstruction, wound site and health. Ask your surgeon about work and exercise.
Rest, nutrition, wound care, swelling management and activity restrictions follow the surgeon’s instructions. Contact the team about increasing pain, fever or an unusual wound change.
