If your child should experience a traumatic facial injury, the specialized treatment from a plastic surgeon may be necessary for a complete recovery.
When a child suffers a traumatic facial injury that may potentially cause a deformity or scar, the long-term effects can extend beyond simply appearances. For children psychological impact may occur, causing them to become self-conscious, anxious or even depressed—and it’s terrifying for parents.
We can relate. Not only is Dr. Madda a top plastic surgeon, but he is also a father of four and grandfather of three. He has a deep understanding for how frightening an injury is for everyone involved, but he knows better than anyone that a traumatic injury to a child’s face does not have to be a permanent.
Traumatic injuries may include, skin lacerations, deep cuts, soft tissue damage, fracture to the orbital eye bone, obstruction to the nasal cavity or sinuses, fracture to the jaw bone, and missing teeth. Treatment for facial trauma often involves airway control, bleeding control, reduction of swelling, prevention of infection, repair of bone fractures, repair of lacerations or soft tissue injury, and reconstruction.
All children become ill or require surgery at one time or another. However, children who need plastic and reconstructive surgery require expert, individualized care that focuses on the child’s unique needs. Dr. Frank C. Madda is one of the nation’s leading plastic surgeons for the reconstruction of traumatic facial injuries. His combination of dental and surgical training makes him uniquely skilled at restoring the aesthetics of facial proportions, and the functionality of jaw joints that may have sustained injury.
