Bethesda MD Lip Reconstruction Surgery | Chevy Chase Lip Trauma Repair

(703) 574-4500 Contact Us

Are you looking for a skilled plastic surgeon offering lip reconstruction surgery in the Bethesda area? The lips are essential for both aesthetics and function. Lips help create your unique smile and facilitate speech, but they are also delicate and prone to injury. Trauma in many forms can tear or damage lip tissue; disease or congenital defects can cause deformity. At Maia Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Munique Maia, offers lip reconstruction surgery to reshape or repair lip deformities at our clinic in Chevy Chase, MD near Bethesda, MD.

The lips are complex structures of muscles, fatty tissue and skin that must be flexible to perform the required movements for speech and emotional expression. Burns, lacerations, skin/oral cancers and other trauma can impact the lips. When lip trauma occurs, muscles, tendons and tissue can be removed or damaged, requiring intricate reconstruction surgery. Not only can this require complex grafting procedures to replace or repair muscles, tendons, fatty tissue and skin for function, but the aesthetics of the lip also need to be considered. Dr. Maia is an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon who can perform lip reconstruction surgery to restore both function and form.

Lip Trauma Repair

A lip deformity caused by trauma can have a significant impact on your life. It can be difficult to eat or speak, and the appearance of your mouth can hurt your self-confidence. Lip trauma repair surgery can reconstruct the tissue and skin of the lips to allow improved function. Dr. Maia can also create natural, balanced lips that enhance your appearance and confidence.

Lip reconstruction surgery is a very complicated procedure that requires extensive skill and experience – not all plastic surgeons offer this specialized service. If you or a loved one have experienced lip trauma that damaged tissue and impacted function, contact us at Maia Plastic Surgery. We can schedule a lip trauma repair consultation with Dr. Maia to discuss your plastic surgery options at our clinic near Bethesda, MD.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a consultation with Dr. Maia, not only was her expertise evident, her compassion shown through as she walked us through the process. Thankfully, I felt very comfortable trusting her as I underwent reconstruction surgery. I am very happy with the results and highly respect and recommend Dr. Maia.

Dr Maia truly loves what she does. She is invested in making you the version of yourself you want to be. She listens attentively to what you want and makes relevant suggestions. She did not try to introduce anything unnecessary into my treatment plan. The results I achieved during my first treatment keeps me coming back. Her staff is excellent and works to accommodate your schedule. I have recommended Dr. Maia several times and each time I get the same positive feedback.

Selecting a surgeon: After having two children and weight fluctuations over the years I was left with complete loss of volume in my breasts. I had four consultations with other surgeons but after comparing their photos to Dr Maia’s and meeting her in person, I knew she was my doctor. We talked about my lifestyle - being a mom and a professional, I didn’t want to be too big, but I’m curvy so I didn’t want to go too small for my frame either. She let me try on sizes and once I selected she agreed it was a good fit for my frame. Post op recovery: I was a smoker and had quit prior to surgery but she was very honest and adamant in telling me how important it was that I did not smoke. (I honestly needed the lecture and the transparency about what could happen if I did start smoking before surgery and post-op.) Because I was formerly a pretty heavy smoker, it did cause some issues after surgery with wound closing and she was SO diligent and on top of it seeing me once and week and squeezing me in for appointments between surgeries and patients. She prescribed different things to address the would closure issues before they really became a problem. Being able to have text message access to the office was great when I had questions and she even accommodated my schedule when I couldn’t be seen in person to send progress photos so that she could check on me. 3 months post op: I’m so happy with the results of my surgery and am so glad I waited to find the right doctor. She’s an artist! They look natural, fit my body shape and they haven’t even fully “dropped and fluffed” yet. Would highly recommend… comparing her patient photos to other surgeons will end your search. I feel so much better in my body thanks to Dr Maia.

This is my second time at Dr. Maia’s office and I am so pleased with my experience here. The staff is so friendly and caring. Dr. Maia is the best Dr in the DMV area, she knows exactly what she is doing and you will be happy with the results! I am so glad I found her! I recommend anyone who’s looking for a very personable doctor to come and see her! Thank you Dr. Maia & staff!
