facial reconstruction
Surgical face restoration
Facial reconstruction is the process of rebuilding or recreating a face.
In surgery, it means repairing facial structures damaged by injury, disease, or birth defects.
In forensics, it means creating a likeness of a deceased person from skeletal remains—either through physical sculpture or digital modeling—to aid identification: Police released a facial reconstruction hoping someone would recognize the victim.
