Facial Fractures: Early Diagnosis & Reconstruction

Understanding Facial Fractures

Facial fractures, including injuries around the eyes, cheekbone, nose, and jaw, are common consequences of accidents or trauma. Early diagnosis and timely reconstruction by a skilled plastic surgeon are crucial for restoring both cosmetic appearance and facial function. Swelling or bruising can sometimes mask fractures, so professional evaluation with a 3D CT scan is recommended.

Signs and Symptoms of Facial Fractures

Be alert for the following symptoms after facial trauma:

• Swelling of the face
• Blurry or double vision
• Asymmetry of the face or misaligned eyes
• Swollen or flattened cheeks
• Bruising or discoloration on the face
• Numbness of upper lip, nose, or cheeks

Types of Facial Fractures

• Nasal bone fracture: Most common; requires prompt attention for both function and cosmetic reshaping.
• Mandible (jaw) fracture: Affects chewing, speech, and facial symmetry.
• Zygomatic (cheekbone) fracture: Can affect facial contours and eye positioning.
• Orbital fractures: Can cause double vision and eye displacement.
• Maxillary fractures: Impact mid-face structure and occlusion.

Facial Fracture Treatment & Reconstruction

Modern plastic surgery techniques allow precise repositioning of fractured bones using miniature plating systems, usually through intraoral approaches to avoid visible scars. Early intervention ensures that displaced bones heal correctly and prevent long-term deformities.

For older fractures with deformities, reconstructive surgery can restore facial symmetry and function with satisfying results.
