Maxillofacial Trauma & Reconstructive Surgery

Maxillofacial Trauma & Reconstructive Surgery

Expert surgical care for facial and jaw injuries from accidents or trauma, using advanced imaging to restore bone alignment, function, and natural facial appearance.

Our Approach to Care

• Facial trauma can affect the jaw, cheekbones, nose, eye sockets, and surrounding soft tissue, often resulting from road accidents, sports injuries, workplace incidents, or falls
• Dr. Saurabh Rawat specializes in diagnosing and surgically correcting these injuries using advanced 3D imaging and CT-based assessment to map fractures precisely
• Treatment begins with a thorough clinical evaluation to determine whether the injury requires immediate stabilization, surgical fixation, or a combination of both
• Techniques such as open reduction and internal fixation are used to realign and stabilize fractured bones using titanium plates and screws where necessary
• Reconstructive surgery goes beyond repairing fractures — it also focuses on restoring facial contour, bite alignment, and normal jaw movement
• Soft tissue injuries, lacerations, and nerve damage are addressed alongside bone repair to ensure comprehensive healing
• Every case is managed with an emphasis on reducing visible scarring and preserving the patient's natural facial appearance
• Patients are guided through post-operative care, including pain management, diet modifications, and physiotherapy exercises for jaw mobility
• Regular follow-up visits ensure proper healing, monitor for complications, and confirm that function and aesthetics are fully restored
• The goal is always to return patients to normal chewing, speaking, and facial function as quickly and safely as possible
• Alpha Dent combines surgical precision with compassionate patient care throughout the recovery journey

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1. What should I do immediately after a facial injury?

Control any bleeding, avoid moving the jaw unnecessarily, apply a cold compress if possible, and seek prompt evaluation, since early assessment helps prevent complications.

Q2. How is a facial fracture diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a clinical examination combined with X-rays or CT scans to precisely locate and assess the extent of the fracture.

Q3. Will I need surgery for every facial injury?

Not always — some fractures heal with rest and monitoring, while displaced or complex fractures usually require surgical correction for proper healing.

Q4. How long is the recovery after reconstructive surgery?

Recovery varies by injury severity, but most patients see significant healing within a few weeks, with full recovery over one to three months.

Q5. Will there be visible scarring after treatment?

Techniques are chosen specifically to minimize scarring, and many incisions are placed in less visible areas to preserve natural appearance.
