Facial Trauma, also called
maxillofacial injury, is any type of injury or damage that has occurred
to the face and upper jawbone. Injuries most commonly associated with
this type of trauma are cuts on the face and around the mouth, bruises
around the eyes, breaks in the skin, difficulty in breathing because
of swelling and bleeding, loss of teeth, fractures of the jaw or jaws,
and changes in feelings to the facial region. These symptoms of facial
trauma are typically due to physical interactions with the face and
head in automobile accidents and violence.
When working with a patient with facial trauma, we strive to emphasize
both our care in restoring complete functionality to the face and
jaws, and the importance of re-establishing appearance and identity.
We understand the physical and emotional side effects that come
along with this type of experience and that is why we take pleasure
in offering our patients a high degree of oral & maxillofacial
surgery.
If you have questions regarding this procedure and/or would like
to talk to someone here at the office, please contact
us.
