Lack of certain facial features or disfigurements is sometimes known to take place due to occurrence of certain illnesses such as cancer, or due to birth anomalies, or perhaps as a result of untoward accidents. This can become a major cause of social embarrassment and even cause anxiety to the affected person. Fortunately to overcome such abnormalities there are options in facial restorations. Customized and artificially-designed Maxillofacial prothetics are now available to camouflage anomalies with the help of artificial substitutes for areas around the head and neck including the eyes, nose and ears. However, it has come as a boon for celebrities like movie stars, sports persons, musicians and artists who need to look perfect or camouflage their shortcomings. Hence, it is seen that this surgery is usually undertaken by people who include actors, politicians and other well-known people, who are ready to undergo cosmetic surgery merely to become well known.

The Start-to-Finish Process

It is the job of the anaplastologist to sculpt and create natural-looking cosmetic prosthetics as per individual requirements of the patient. Such facial prosthesis can be used as an interim solution while waiting for the real structure to be restored or may be used as a permanent feature in cases where there is no medical solution for restoration. Prior to creating the prosthetic structures, the anaplastologist will evaluate and analyze the current medical condition of the patient. The patient is familiarized and educated with the technique of using prosthetics. Type and material and budget are decided in consensus with the patient. Next is the sculpting session wherein a wax replica is created to get the exact shape, fit and measurement. Facial proportion and symmetry detailing are done with great care. Color and tone of skin are decided at this stage. Finally is the fitting stage wherein the created structure is fitted in. All measures for maintenance and hygiene are informed to the user accordingly.

Ocularist for Missing Eye Solutions

For creation of a missing eye prosthetic it is the ocularist who is given charge. Although stock artificial eyes are available it is advisable for the affected persons to opt for customized versions for greater satisfaction. In recent times, the cost of replacing a missing eye structure artificially has reduced to a great extent owing to the use of digital technology. Also such costs vary depending on the type of material being used to sculpt the missing eye structure. Established centers for ocular prosthetics exist in Florida and looking up these for further information is worth the effort. In certain instances, the affected patients are even eligible for insurance cover to purchase artificial eye structures.

Devices for nasal prosthetics and auricular prosthetics have come as a boon to persons looking for an alternative to surgical measures for alteration or replacement of the nose and ears. Made from high-grade silicone material it is convenient to attach with the help of certain Osseo integrated implants or alternately may be fixed by making use of skin adhesives. Such structures are detachable and may be removed from the face at night.
