Maxillofacial Surgery
Articles and resources for Maxillofacial Surgery in Maxillofacial and Dental Surgery.
Maxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the face, jaw, and mouth. Common reasons for considering this type of surgery include facial trauma, congenital deformities, tumors, and severe dental issues that cannot be resolved through less invasive methods. Patients may also seek maxillofacial surgery for aesthetic reasons, such as correcting facial asymmetries or enhancing facial features.
The procedure is typically performed in a hospital or surgical center under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case. Surgeons use various techniques, which may involve incisions inside the mouth or externally on the face. Patients can expect to undergo pre-operative assessments, including imaging studies, to help plan the surgery. Recovery time varies based on the specific procedure and individual circumstances, but it generally involves managing swelling and discomfort.
The benefits of maxillofacial surgery can include improved function, such as better chewing and speaking abilities, as well as enhanced facial appearance. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Patients should be aware of these factors and discuss them with their healthcare provider to understand the potential outcomes and limitations of the surgery.
