Reconstruction of the Face

Artistic Care

Facial Reconstruction in Portland Oregon Metro

At Oregon Cosmetic and Reconstructive Clinic, Dr. Tina Jenq offers expert facial reconstruction with an artistic, detail-oriented approach. We help patients from Portland, Lake Oswego, Clackamas, Gresham, and West Linn restore both function and appearance after skin cancer removal, injury, or other facial concerns.

What is Facial Reconstruction?

Facial reconstruction restores damaged or missing tissue in a way that preserves both form and function. Whether from trauma, skin cancer surgery, or congenital differences, we focus on results that blend naturally with your features. Our goal is to help you feel whole and confident again.

Understanding Facial Subunits

The face is made up of distinct zones, or “facial subunits”—like the nose, lips, eyelids, cheeks, and forehead. During reconstruction, we use these natural borders to carefully plan incisions and closures. When possible, we hide scars within skin folds, facial wrinkles, or the edges of these subunits. This helps the final result blend in as naturally as possible.

Where Are These Procedures Done?

Some smaller reconstructions can be done right here in our clinic. For more complex cases, especially involving multiple layers or delicate areas, we perform the procedure in the operating room. No matter the setting, our goal is always a safe and smooth recovery with excellent aesthetic outcomes.

Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery

If your reconstruction is following Mohs surgery for skin cancer, we usually coordinate directly with your dermatologist. After the Mohs surgeon confirms that all cancer has been removed (“clear margins”), we schedule your reconstruction for the next day. This ensures proper healing and avoids unnecessary delays.
