Facial lacerations: Soft tissue injuries marked by cuts, tears or breaks in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or underlying muscle. Facial lacerations are typically the result of extreme pressure or blunt force impact.
Fractured facial bones: Facial fractures can occur within the nasal structure, eye (orbital) sockets or cheekbones. Due to the thin and delicate nature of the bones and cartilage in the nose, nasal fractures are the most common type of facial fracture. Factors that can determine the appropriate treatment for broken facial bones include your age, health and the severity and location of the fracture.
Fractured upper and/or lower jaw: Fractures in the upper and lower jaw may require surgery to properly realign the jaw and restore normal biting and chewing.
Injuries of the facial nerves: Injuries resulting in weakness or paralysis of the face should be urgently evaluated. Many new techniques are available to help restore facial movement.
