Rebuilding facial form and function after tumour resection, fracture, burn or injury, the discipline behind the rest of this practice.
Surgeon
Dr. Saleh Alqaryan
Fellowship
Head & neck oncology with microvascular reconstruction
Consultation
By appointment
Facial reconstruction rebuilds form and function after tissue has been lost or damaged, following tumour resection, facial fractures, burns or other injury. Both what the face does and how it looks are part of the problem.
Dr. Saleh completed a fellowship in advanced head and neck surgical oncology with microvascular reconstruction at King Saud University, alongside his facial plastic and reconstructive fellowship at Dalhousie University in Canada.
The same anatomical understanding that guides rebuilding a face after resection is what governs restraint and precision in elective aesthetic surgery.
01
Whether the defect follows tumour resection, fracture, burn or other injury, and which tissues are involved.
02
What the affected structures need to do, assessed alongside how the face should look.
03
Earlier surgery or other treatment to the area, and how it affects the reconstructive options.
04
General health, current medications and allergies are reviewed, along with any ongoing treatment.
STEP 01
Examination of the affected area, review of any imaging or prior treatment, and discussion of what the reconstruction needs to achieve.
STEP 02
A plan matched to the defect and to the patient’s circumstances, including whether more than one stage is required. Agreed in writing before a date is set.
STEP 03
Carried out as agreed in consultation. Anaesthesia, surgical approach and expected duration are confirmed with the patient beforehand, not assumed.
STEP 04
Reviewed in scheduled appointments after surgery, coordinated with any other treating team. The schedule is set for the individual case and given in writing.
Reconstruction is planned around the individual defect. Results, healing and suitability are discussed directly with Dr. Saleh in consultation rather than promised in advance.
The specific risks, recovery and aftercare that apply to your case are explained in consultation and confirmed in writing before surgery. Where another team is involved in your care, the plan is coordinated with them.
