EXPERT RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY | PHILADELPHIA, PA
Dr. Jonathan Pontell is a dedicated and gifted plastic surgeon performing reconstructive surgery in Philadelphia. He is board certified and fellowship trained in facial reconstructive surgery. He offers hope for his patients by designing individualized treatment plans for them.
Oftentimes, Dr. Pontell sees deformities from birth, car accidents or other trauma to the face. Although there are quite a few reconstructive surgeons in Philadelphia, Dr. Pontell has the ability to look at the deformity, and with the trained eye of a true artist, he is able to reconstruct areas with his skill in seeing the natural contours of the face.
Scar revision is highly individualized, depending on the type and scope of the scars. They can be caused by birth defects, serious burns, acne and trauma from an accident. Dr. Pontell has many treatments and procedures, which results in more aestheticly appealing appearances for patients.
Facial nerve paralysis is often a factor in people who have had a stroke. Other causes may be dental surgery, cancer and brain injuries. Restoring function is the primary focus in this area; however, the doctor will work at restoring the aesthetics during the reconstructive surgery in Philadelphia. A patient often loses the ability to eat, drink or smile properly when there is nerve paralysis. Eyes are especially vulnerable if the patient is unable to blink properly. The cornea tends to dry out, making it more prone to injury.
Skin grafts to the face and neck have come a long way with the technology doctors have today. Depending on the wound, the doctor may use a graft comprised of surface skin cells, a graft using all of the skin layers or a composite graft, which consists of the skin layers, cartilage and the support structure under the skin. The grafts are taken from areas of the body that hide the donor sites, giving the body time to heal and the scars time to fade.
Flap surgery works well for some accidents, injuries and deformities. It involves the use of the patient’s own skin that is stretched to cover up another wound. The difference between flap surgery and grafting is the flap of tissue stays connected to the blood supply of the patient.
Most conditions are helped by some form of reconstructive surgery, which enhances the face and restores some functions. Dr. Pontell is one of the best doctors when it comes to reconstructive surgeons in Philadelphia.
