What is it ?

Injuries to the face, head and neck—such as those caused by car accidents, sports injuries, work-related injuries and cancer removal are facial trauma. Damage caused by these injuries, however, can often be improved with facial reconstruction surgery

All post-traumatic facial reconstruction involves repairing soft tissue injuries using stitches. With the assistance of microsurgery techniques, facial nerves may also be treated. Soft tissue asymmetry, misalignment, or deficiency can all be corrected after the initial traumatic repair.

Many serious facial injuries also involve repairing facial bone fractures. Facial fracture repair can help improve facial form and function. This is typically done by using plate-and-screw fixation devices to connect the facial bones to stabilize your facial structure in the desired shape. If your bite is off or your bones are asymmetric, a post-traumatic procedure can improve or correct the condition in many cases.
