Expert Care for Trauma Recovery and Scar Minimization

Trauma to the head and neck region can have significant functional and aesthetic consequences for patients.

Many times, trauma is limited to the skin and soft tissue of the face. In many places, a wound or injury can be closed to leave as minimal a scar as possible. Certain areas of the face require specialized care and experience to minimize functional problems. This is especially true around the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. A well-healed, well-positioned scar can make all the difference in achieving an aesthetically pleasing result without functional problems.

What Should Be Done?

Injuries to the skin and soft tissue should be cleaned and closed as quickly as possible. This will maximize the chance that the wound will heal well without infection or other complications.

Trauma that involves the bones of the face requires additional care. Experience has shown that improperly treated fractures of the bones of the face can have devastating long-term consequences.

Mouth and Nose

Facial fractures can affect tooth function. If teeth do not fit as they did before the injury, patients may experience jaw pain, difficulty eating, and potentially jaw asymmetry.

Facial fractures can affect the appearance and function of the nose. In addition to its aesthetic appearance, the nose is an important factor in breathing. Trauma can change the patient’s ability to breathe properly.

Eyes and Brain

Facial fractures can affect the appearance and function of the eyes. The eye sits inside the bony orbit. Any fracture of the orbit can alter the eye's ability to see and its position within the orbit. If the eyes are misaligned, patients may experience double vision.

Facial fractures can involve the bones that surround the brain. The consequences of these cranial bone fractures can be devastating, with a range of possible problems. The skull is designed in a very particular manner to protect the brain. Any injury to these bones can cause serious problems to the underlying brain.
