To achieve superlative results in reconstruction of trauma to the facial bones, such as fractures to the cheek, midface or orbital regions, Doctor Portnoy exploits a state of the art “minimal incision” technique whereby most incisions are either hidden in non-visualized places such as within the inner eyelid, intra-oral, or in the hairline. Minimal, inconspicuous incisions can also be employed in addition to those “hidden” incisions thereby allowing access to almost the entire facial skeleton. At times additional supportive tissue is required to execute the reconstruction. By virtue of his extensive facial plastic surgery experience in this arena, Doctor Portnoy can easily harvest cartilage from the nasal septum, bone grafts from the skull, or rely on any number of other bio-acceptable materials and mini-plates for bone stabilization.
