Our Facial Trauma Procedures.

We provide surgery that restores strength, improves healing, and helps patients move forward with confidence.

Broken Jaw Treatment

A fractured jaw can make eating, speaking, and even opening the mouth painful. Surgery repositions and stabilises the jaw, allowing it to heal correctly, and helps reduce pain and prevent long-term problems.

Broken Nose Realignment

Nasal fractures can cause pain, swelling, and breathing difficulties. Surgery realigns the broken bone and cartilage, restoring both appearance and breathing. Early treatment prevents long-term issues.

Midface Fracture Surgery

Fractures to the cheekbones or midface can affect vision, bite, and facial balance. Surgery carefully repositions bones to restore strength, symmetry, and everyday comfort, helping patients recover both functionally and cosmetically.

Stitches & Scar Repair

Cuts to the face require careful closure to heal properly and reduce visible scars. We provide precise wound repair and scar management techniques that support healing and create a more natural, less noticeable scar.

Post-Trauma Facial Reconstruction

Severe accidents can leave lasting damage that affects both appearance and oral health. Reconstructive surgery rebuilds facial structure, restores strength, and supports a more natural look, helping patients regain confidence.

Early care, better healing.

Timely treatment can be the difference between recovery and regret. Let’s plan your treatment together.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions.

What should I do immediately after a facial injury?

Seek medical attention quickly. Early care often prevents complications and supports better healing.

How long does it take for a facial injury to heal?

Bruising and swelling usually clear within 2–3 weeks. Full recovery after surgery can take 6-8 weeks or longer, depending on the depth of the injury and whether nerves are affected.

Will I be able to eat and speak normally again?

Yes, that is the goal of treatment. Healing takes time, but most patients regain quality of life with proper recovery.

Can facial trauma cause TMJ?

Yes. Facial trauma can cause jaw joint problems or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Injuries to the jaw, head, or neck can disturb joint alignment, causing pain, popping (clicking), headaches, jaw locking, or limited mouth movement.

How long will I need to take off work or school?

For simple injuries, most people return within 1–2 weeks. Complex surgeries may need more recovery time.

How do you treat a facial fracture?

Our treatment depends on the type and severity of the fracture. We manage simple cases conservatively, while complex fractures are repaired surgically with plates, screws, or wires to restore both your health and appearance.

How soon should surgery be done after trauma?

It depends on the type of injury. Some cases need urgent treatment, while others can be scheduled safely after the swelling reduces.

Is facial injury life-threatening?

Isolated facial fractures are rarely life-threatening. However, more complex fractures or associated injuries can be, and complications such as airway blockage from bleeding, swelling, or tissue damage may make a facial injury dangerous.

Can facial trauma cause sinusitis?

Yes, facial trauma can lead to sinusitis. In addition to direct damage, drainage from the sinuses can get blocked, causing infection and inflammation.

Which is the most serious complication of facial trauma?

The most serious complication is airway obstruction, which can quickly become life-threatening. It may be caused by bleeding, swelling, fractured teeth, or head injury that affects breathing and reflexes.

How do you know if a face injury is serious?

A facial injury is considered serious if there is severe swelling or pain, changes in vision, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or heavy bleeding that won’t stop. Warning signs also include facial deformity, numbness, or confusion, such as slurred speech or trouble staying awake. In all such cases, urgent medical care is needed.
