What Is Facial Trauma Surgery?
Facial trauma surgery can include repairing fractures of the nose, cheekbones, jaw, or eye socket, and reconstructing soft tissue injuries.
Some patients need treatment soon after an injury, while others seek secondary reconstruction to improve the result of earlier treatment.
Treatment is highly individualized and may involve plastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and other specialists working together.
Who This May Be Right For
Facial trauma surgery may be considered by people who have had a facial injury and want to restore function or appearance, including those seeking revision of earlier repair.
Acute, serious injuries require emergency care locally. Lewis Medix supports planned reconstructive treatment once you are medically stable.
Understanding the Procedure
Facial trauma surgery is performed by qualified specialist surgeons in an accredited hospital.
Your surgical team will review imaging, examine you, and plan the reconstruction. Techniques may include realigning and fixing bones, grafting, and repairing soft tissues.
Your surgeon will explain the approach, expected recovery, risks, and alternatives before any decision is made.

Recovery Overview
Recovery depends on the extent of the injury and the surgery performed. Swelling and bruising are common, and some people follow a modified diet for a period of time.
Your medical team will provide detailed instructions and arrange follow up. Previous records and imaging can be shared with your surgeon in advance.
