What is facial trauma?

Facial trauma encompasses any injury to the face. The trauma can include soft tissue injuries (burns, lacerations), bone injuries (fractures), and injuries to specialist structures including the eyes, nose, mouth and facial nerves. Established post-traumatic differences refer to the lasting deformities or functional issues that can result from facial trauma. These may manifest as scars, Facial asymmetries and contour irregularities, or other tissue damage caused by accidents, injuries, or previous surgeries.

Dr. Davidson discusses his dedication to reconstructive surgery.

Reconstruction of established post-traumatic differences

Established post-traumatic differences refer to the long-lasting deformities or functional issues that can result from facial trauma. These may manifest as scars, facial asymmetries and contour irregularities, or other tissue damage caused by accidents, injuries, or previous surgeries. Such differences can have a significant impact on an individual's physical appearance, functional abilities, and emotional well-being.

At Palm Beach Plastic Surgery Institute, we are committed to helping patients with these post-traumatic differences. Our expert team uses advanced reconstructive techniques to restore function and improve appearance, ultimately enhancing the patient's quality of life.

What does the reconstruction involve?

The specific procedures involved in the reconstruction of established post-traumatic differences depend on the nature and severity of the deformity. They can range from minimally invasive treatments to complex surgical reconstructions.

For example, scar revision surgery can help to minimize the appearance of scars by aligning them with natural skin folds or reducing their size. Bone repositioning and grafting may be used to rebuild areas where bone has been lost or malpositioned due to fracture. Nerve repair or grafting can be performed to restore sensation and function in cases of nerve damage.

Procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques to complex facial reconstructions. Each surgery is meticulously planned and executed to restore as much function as possible and achieve an optimal aesthetic outcome.

We utilize cutting-edge surgical techniques and the most advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies for virtual surgical planning of individualized patient solutions to maximize both functional and aesthetic outcomes.

In all cases, the goal of reconstruction is to restore as much function as possible and achieve the best aesthetic outcome.

Recovery from facial trauma surgery

Recovery varies depending on the procedure performed and the individual's overall health. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and ongoing support to ensure a smooth recovery. Our team is always available to address any concerns or queries during this period.

Who is a candidate for facial trauma surgery?

Candidates for facial trauma surgery include those who have sustained injuries to the face, including fractures, lacerations, or burns. Those with residual deformities from old trauma - or established post-traumatic differences - can also greatly benefit from our reconstructive procedures. All potential candidates undergo a thorough health evaluation to ensure they can safely undergo surgery.
