Trauma Reconstruction Pomona, NY

Injuries can affect more than just your appearance—they can change how you move, feel, and live. Trauma reconstruction surgery helps restore function and structure to your body. It supports healing, eases discomfort, and can improve confidence.

At Glassman Plastic Surgery in Pomona, NY, we offer skilled, results-focused care for patients recovering from trauma. Dr. Lawrence Glassman works closely with each individual to create a surgical plan for recovery, stability, and long-term comfort.

What Is Trauma Reconstruction?

Trauma reconstruction is a type of plastic surgery for trauma patients that focuses on repairing physical damage from accidents, injuries, or violence. Unlike cosmetic procedures done purely for aesthetics, trauma reconstruction prioritizes both functional and aesthetic reconstruction—restoring movement, structure, and appearance.

Conditions and Injuries Treated

Reconstructive surgery after injury can address a wide variety of trauma-related concerns. These may range from mild facial cuts to more complex fractures or nerve damage.

Commonly treated conditions include:

  • Facial trauma and fractures
  • Deep lacerations or soft tissue injuries
  • Nasal or orbital bone injuries
  • Burn-related deformities
  • Complex hand trauma
  • Post-accident reconstructive surgery
  • Nerve damage impacting mobility or sensation
  • Cosmetic repair after traumatic injury

Reconstructive Techniques Used

Dr. Glassman utilizes cutting-edge methods in reconstructive surgery after injury, including:

Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer

This advanced technique involves moving tissue and its blood supply from one part of the body to another. It’s especially useful in complex injuries where soft tissue and blood vessels have been damaged.

Skin and Soft Tissue Grafting

Grafting involves transplanting healthy skin or soft tissue to cover wounds or defects. This method helps restore surface coverage and encourages new tissue growth in areas with significant loss.

Flap Techniques

Flap surgery moves a tissue section—sometimes including muscle and bone—from one area to another. These procedures maintain the tissue’s blood supply, making them ideal for covering large or deep wounds.

Bone Realignment and Internal Fixation

When trauma affects the bone structure, realignment and fixation with plates or screws help restore proper function. This approach is often used in facial fractures or limb injuries.

Scar Revision and Dermal Fillers for Contour

Dr. Glassman may use surgical scar revision or injectable fillers to improve the appearance of scars and restore symmetry. These options support both functional and cosmetic goals.

They are particularly critical in facial trauma reconstruction, where millimeter-level precision can influence long-term function and appearance.

Goals of Trauma Reconstruction

Every procedure is designed to address both immediate and long-term concerns. Key goals include:

  • Restoring physical function (such as breathing, speaking, or chewing)
  • Rebuilding anatomical structure
  • Minimizing visible signs of trauma
  • Preventing future complications
  • Enhancing emotional and psychological well-being

Some patients also benefit from cosmetic repair after traumatic injury, helping them regain their sense of self.

Your care begins with a detailed consultation, during which Dr. Glassman reviews your injury, examines your medical history, and may request diagnostic imaging. He’ll then create a surgical plan tailored to your specific needs.
