FACIAL TRAUMA SURGERY
Facial trauma may occur for a range of different reasons and depending on the injury, can often be very painful.
Treating facial trauma as soon as possible is important in order to ensure that you heal correctly, minimise pain and restore visual appearance.
Dr. Garg and the team at TOMIS use the most advanced virtual surgical planning technology to treat and manage complex facial fractures and trauma.
Some of the routinely performed procedures by Dr.Garg include:
Broken Cheekbone and Eye Socket surgery:
As the cheekbone forms part of the eye socket, it is common for an injury of the cheekbone to affect the eye socket and vice versa. As with other facial trauma, it is often caused by accidents, assaults, sporting incidents and falls, however, cheekbone and eye socket fractures can sometimes occur due to disease and bone loss from infection.
Your surgeon will discuss your procedure with you and provide you with a detailed outline of anything that needs to be done. During this time, any questions and concerns you may have can be addressed.
Broken Jaw Surgical Repair:
Depending on the location of the break or fracture, and the severity of the injury, your surgeon may offer a number of different treatment options. Duration of treatment can differ greatly depending on the individual condition and in cases where there is only a minor fracture; effective management of the injury is still essential.
Dr.Garg is highly experienced in managing and performing surgery on the jaw. The jawbone is the second most common broken bone in the face, after the nose. For this reason, surgery and management of this injury often leads to complete and effective recovery.
