The surgeon

Surgical services, in Sri Lanka.

From a wisdom tooth to a full facial reconstruction, every case begins as data on your own CT scan: simulated and guided before theatre. Consultations in Colombo and Nuwara Eliya, and at the FaceLab clinic.

01

Orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery

Repositioning the jaws for bite problems, facial balance and sleep apnoea, with occlusion, profile and airway simulated in 3D before surgery.

02

Facial plastic and contouring

Jawline, chin, cheekbone and brow contouring with patient-specific PEEK implants designed on your own CT, including gender-affirming facial surgery.

03

Wisdom teeth and dental implants

Routine and surgical wisdom tooth removal, single implants, and full-mouth rehabilitation with zygomatic implants for severe bone loss.

04

Head and neck cancer surgery

Major oral, jaw, parotid and salivary-gland cancer surgery, with reconstruction planned as part of the resection, not after it.

05

Facial trauma and reconstruction

Facial fracture repair and microvascular free-flap reconstruction after cancer or injury: fibula, radial forearm and beyond.

06

Cleft, TMJ and patient-specific implants

Cleft lip and palate surgery, total TMJ replacement, and 3D-printed titanium and PEEK implants for jaw, skull and orbital defects.

Precision is decided before the first incision.

The technology

He doesn’t just use the tools. He builds them.

SlicerBoneReconstructionPlanner

About

A digital-first surgeon.

Operating where clinical surgery, academic research and computational technology meet, Dr Herath plans every complex procedure in virtual surgical planning before it is performed, so precision is decided at the design stage, not discovered in theatre.

He performs the full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and builds the tools and companies behind the work. Blisme is the home for those projects.
