Trauma Plastic Surgery by Dr. Geetika Paliwal
at Sukriti Clinic
Injuries to the face, by their very
nature, impart a high degree of emotional, as well as physical trauma to
patients. There are a number of possible causes of facial trauma.
Let’s understand in details:-
Facial trauma, also called maxillofacial trauma, is any physical
trauma to the face. Facial trauma can involve soft tissue
injuries such as burns, lacerations and bruises, or fractures of
the facial bones which involves symptoms like pain, swelling, loss of function, or changes in the shape
of facial structures. Types of facial injuries can range from injuries of teeth
to extremely severe injuries of the skin and bones of the face. Causes of
trauma is Injury mechanisms such as falls, assaults, sports
injuries, and vehicle crashes are common causes of
facial trauma in children as well as adults. Blunt assaults, blows from
fists or objects, are a common cause of facial injury. Facial trauma can also
result from wartime injuries such as gunshots and blasts.
What’s the
Treatment?
Soft tissue injuries such as, lacerations on face, can be repaired by
suturing. Major tissue loss requires either skin grafting or flap surgeries. Fractures of bone of the face are treated by open reduction and
internal fixation with help of mini plates. This depends on your specific
injury, how bad it is, and whether you have any other problems at the time. Our
goal will be to put the bones back into their natural position. This is called
“reducing” the fracture. He’ll also want to keep the bones in place to prevent further injury. Doctors call this “fixing”
the fracture.
