What is facial trauma?

In simple terms, facial trauma can be described as any physical trauma to the face. There can be bruises, cuts, lacerations on the face, or even fractures on nasal parts, jaw, and eye orbit.

It is also known as maxillofacial trauma which leads to disfigurement and failure in the proper functioning of the affected part.

It is necessary to get appropriate treatment within time.

Signs and symptoms of maxillofacial trauma

● The most common symptoms of oral and maxillofacial trauma are pain, bleeding, and swelling of the facial muscles.

Facial trauma treatment and procedure.

The severity of the degree of facial injury dictates the extent of maxillofacial trauma treatment.

Our maxillofacial surgeon believes that before going into any treatment, it is necessary to know a few things, which are, the reason for maxillofacial trauma, any difficulty in movement of the jaw, eye, and facial muscles, the minute unwanted particle stuck on the face, and numbness of the facial parts such as forehead, nose, cheeks, etc.

If in case the patient has accidentally swallowed blood or any particle, then immediate maxillofacial trauma treatment is performed, so that the air passage is clear and there are no complications in breathing.

Most of the time, trauma can be very severe as it causes extreme pain, the patient is unable to move the jaw and the speech is impaired. If there is no displacement or cracks in the bone, there is no need for any facial injury surgery. In the case of displacing a facial fracture, facial fracture surgery is to be performed immediately.
