Minneapolis Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Works to Restore Normalcy to Patients' Lives

MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - Oct 1, 2013) - With procedures such as rhinoplasty, face lift surgery, and other treatments, Minneapolis facial plastic surgeon Jess Prischmann, MD is accustomed to the meticulous level of detail required when working with the sensitive and delicate areas of the face. This level of care and concern that Dr. Prischmann uses to approach cosmetic facial enhancement surgery is also essential when applied to reconstructive surgery -- a level of distinction that her patients notice in their treatment as well as their results.

A board-certified Head and Neck Surgeon, Dr. Prischmann trained at the Mayo Clinic, which is renowned for treating medical conditions that are difficult to diagnose and cure. As a reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Prischmann has a wide range of experiences caring for patients that suffer from rare diseases or ailments that are challenging to treat. Patients visit Dr. Prischmann's Minneapolis facial plastic surgery practice for reconstructive procedures including:

• Skin cancer reconstruction
• Dermabrasion or laser resurfacing for scarring
• Treatment for Rhinophyma (a condition that results in the nose appearing red and bulbous)
• Head and neck trauma treatment
• Earlobe repair
• Removal and treatment of head and neck lipomas (benign, soft-tissue tumors)

Dr. Prischmann is also experienced in performing reconstructive surgery after Mohs micrographic surgery. While Mohs surgery has a very high cure rate for skin cancer, the process can sometimes leave patients with surface wounds that can make them very self-conscious about their appearance. Dr. Prischmann feels privileged to be able to work with these patients and help them to establish a sense of normalcy in their lives by restoring the appearance of their skin.

In addition to reconstruction following Mohs surgery, Dr. Prischmann also offers scar revision treatment for patients that have scars remaining from skin cancer or other facial trauma. Although scar revision treatment is most successful if sought out soon after the original scar formation, Dr. Prischmann notes that the majority of her patients at Prischmann Facial Plastic Surgery visit the practice for treatment six months or more after their initial scar has formed.

Regardless of the type of reconstructive surgery her patients seek, Dr. Prischmann takes great pride in helping these individuals re-establish self-confidence and restoring the appearance of the skin for those who have been affected by skin trauma caused by injury, surgery, disease, or other issues. Her patients words are a testament to her quality of work, reporting: "Dr. Prischmann's expertise, superb credentials and attention to detail has given me an excellent outcome," and, "One cannot even tell that I ever had surgery."
