General Info

Improving diagnostics and increasingly aggressive surgical intervention are preserving more and more lives each year. Yet thousands of patients with ablative surgery, as well as trauma victims and congenital amputees are disfigured beyond the restorative capabilities of plastic and reconstructive surgery. For them, The Center for Alloplastic Facial Reconstruction, offers hope. With The Center's RealLifeSkin™ and RealLifeEye™ technologies, the “Real Life Center” is the nation’s foremost facility for the planning, designing and creation of life-like prosthetic restorations, such as prosthetic eyes, anaplastology facial and limb prostheses, sinus cavities, dental palettes and more. Life-like prosthetic and anaplastology reconstruction from the Real Life Center not only aids in the rehabilitation of basic anatomical functions such as speech and breath, but also helps restore physical identity, vocal and gestural communication, emotional dignity and self-esteem. Our team of specialists at the Arkansas Artificial Eye Clinic and Facial Prosthetics Center and Memphis Artificial Eye Clinic, are referred hundreds of patients each year from throughout the United States and from many foreign countries. These patients include men and women of many races and of ages ranging from less than two weeks to ninety and above. Each patient is treated as the true individual he or she is – persons whose appearance and, in most cases, self-image have been devastated by disease or trauma. As a result, the staff of Real Life equally draws from knowledge of anatomy, medical and biomedical sciences and artistic talent to provide this most comprehensive and unique service.
