Facial trauma can have a profound impact on both function and aesthetics, affecting vital structures of the face. At our oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, we specialize in facial trauma repair, offering advanced surgical interventions and comprehensive care to restore facial form and function for our patients.
Understanding Facial Trauma
Facial trauma can result from a wide range of incidents, including accidents, falls, sports injuries, or physical altercations. These injuries often involve the delicate structures of the face, including the jaw, cheekbones, nose, eye sockets and surrounding soft tissues. The complexity of facial trauma requires specialized expertise and precision in treatment to achieve optimal outcomes.
Dr. David Salehani is a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and he is extremely adept at addressing diverse forms of facial trauma. With years of experience and training in advanced surgical techniques, he possesses the expertise to manage complex facial injuries with a focus on restoring both function and aesthetics. Our team employs a patient-centered approach, emphasizing compassion and understanding while delivering exceptional care.
Facial Trauma Repair Procedures
The treatment for facial trauma varies based on the type and severity of the injury. Dr. Salehani conducts a thorough evaluation, often utilizing imaging technology to assess the extent of the damage. Surgical intervention may involve the realignment of fractured bones, reconstruction of facial features, repair of soft tissue injuries, and restoration of dental structures. Some of the facial trauma injuries we treat include facial lacerations, intra-oral lacerations, avulsed (knocked out) teeth, fractured facial bones (cheek, nose, eye socket, or forehead), and fractured jaws (upper and lower jaw).
Facial trauma surgeries are often extremely complex and may require multiple repairs completed to restore the facial structure and mouth function. Among the procedures we perform are:
- Fracture Repair: We specialize in the precise realignment and stabilization of fractured facial bones, including the jaw, cheekbones and orbits, using advanced techniques and surgical instruments.
- Soft Tissue Reconstruction: Injuries to the skin, muscles or nerves of the face are meticulously addressed through reconstructive procedures aimed at restoring both function and aesthetics.
We understand the emotional and physical impact of facial trauma on individuals. Our team provides compassionate care, guiding patients and their families through every step of the treatment process. We prioritize clear communication, ensuring that patients are well-informed about their condition, treatment options and expected outcomes.
Post-operative care is crucial for optimal recovery. We provide comprehensive guidance on wound care, pain management and post-surgical instructions. Additionally, we schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and ensure that healing is progressing as expected.
