Commonly asked questions

Clinical anaplastology is a branch of medicine that provides highly realistic facial and body prostheses, made from medical-grade silicones, to restore an absent, disfigured or malformed part of the face or body.

Care is patient-centered. We describe the complete care our profession offers as prosthetic restoration. Often the main focus is restoring appearance with a realistic, lifelike prosthesis, so patients can return to daily activities and enjoy a better quality of life.

We protect patient safety by using the appropriate medical-grade silicones and maintaining proper clinical and laboratory procedures. Anaplastology procedures should be painless, and every step builds toward restoring privacy, dignity and comfort.

We see patients who are missing part of the face or body and for whom surgical reconstruction is not an option.

• Trauma: accidents at home, at work with machinery, or from fireworks; attacks by animals or people, including violence and acts of war.
• Congenital conditions: differences present at birth, such as a missing ear or eye.
• Cancer: head and neck, breast and body cancers that require surgical removal of tissue. A large part of our practice is caring for these patients.

We coordinate directly with surgeons and patients, from before surgery through delivery of the prosthesis and beyond.
