Expert Care for Facial Trauma, Injuries, and Surgical Reconstruction
If you've experienced facial trauma or require surgical correction of the jaw, cheekbones, or soft tissue structures, the team at Woodlands Oral and Facial Surgery is here to help. Our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons provide both emergency care and long-term reconstructive solutions for patients with facial injuries or congenital conditions.
From treating complex fractures to performing aesthetic enhancements, we combine advanced surgical expertise with compassionate care to restore both function and appearance.
Common Facial Injuries We Treat
Facial trauma can result from sports injuries, falls, vehicle accidents, or other sudden impacts. Our oral surgeons specialize in treating:
- Fractured jaw (mandible)
- Fractured cheekbone (zygoma) or eye socket (orbit)
- Nasal fractures
- Soft tissue injuries (lacerations, cuts, bruising)
- Tooth and bone injuries following trauma
- Dislocations or TMJ injuries
Our surgical team is available for urgent care and works closely with ER physicians, general dentists, and orthodontists to ensure complete trauma evaluation and management.
Surgical Reconstruction After Injury
Injuries to the face can impact how you eat, speak, breathe, and appear. We use advanced 3D CT scanning and digital treatment planning to evaluate bone alignment, nerve involvement, and soft tissue damage.
Reconstructive facial surgery may include:
- Stabilization of bone fractures with plates and screws
- Grafting to rebuild lost bone or soft tissue
- Jaw surgery to correct alignment or trauma-induced deformity (learn more)
- Scar revision and cosmetic correction
- Tooth replacement with dental implants or ridge augmentation
Each plan is tailored to your specific injuries and recovery goals.
Functional and Cosmetic Facial Surgery
Not all facial surgery is trauma-related. Some patients seek procedures to correct asymmetry, congenital issues, or signs of aging. We offer elective cosmetic facial surgery and functional enhancements including:
- Cheek and chin augmentation
- Lip and soft tissue reshaping
- Corrective orthognathic surgery for jaw misalignment
- Scar revision and contour correction
Our surgeons blend surgical precision with aesthetic vision to restore natural facial harmony while preserving your unique features.
Sedation and Healing Support
For both trauma care and elective surgery, we offer multiple sedation options to ensure your comfort, including IV sedation and general anesthesia.
FAQs About Facial Injury and Surgery
- What should I do if I suffer a facial injury?: Seek care immediately, especially for jaw pain, swelling, visible fractures, or dental trauma. Our surgeons can evaluate and treat urgent cases.
- Can you fix facial fractures without visible scarring?: Yes. We use hidden incisions whenever possible and specialized techniques to minimize scarring while achieving full structural repair.
- Do you treat sports-related facial injuries?: Absolutely. We handle fractures, dental trauma, lacerations, and more — and can collaborate with your primary care team or dentist.
- Is facial surgery covered by insurance?: Medically necessary trauma care and reconstructive procedures are typically covered. Elective cosmetic procedures may not be. We assist with insurance pre-approvals.
- Will I need follow-up procedures after an injury?
In some cases, yes. Follow-up care may include scar revision, bone grafting, or dental implants if teeth were lost during trauma.
