Tests and exams
The healthcare provider will perform a physical exam that may show:

What are the main goals of Facial Injury treatment in Delhi?
The first step in facial injury treatment in Rohini is to guarantee the patient’s life. The doctor must ensure that the patient is breathing well and without serious injuries that can lead to death quickly (such as severe bleeding and damage to vital organs).
Then, the facial injury treatment in Pitampura aims to correct the injuries that were caused by the trauma (restoring form and function as far as possible) and preventing sequelae (such as anti-aesthetic scars, retractions, changes in vision, malocclusion and facial deformities).
Treatment
Surgery is done if the injury prevents normal performance or causes a major deformity.
The goal of treatment is:
- Control bleeding
- Open the airways
- Treat the fracture and fix the broken bone segments
- Prevent scars as much as possible
- Prevent long-term double vision or sunken eyes or cheeks
- Rule out other injuries
Treatment should be done as soon as possible if the person is stable and does not have a broken neck.
Jaw fractures are treated with surgery if they cause problems such as vision symptoms, changes in how the teeth fit together, limitation of the jaw opening, sinking of the eyeball, facial numbness or an unacceptable change in appearance. Often, doctors wait a few days after the injury occurs (when the swelling subsides) to decide whether surgery is necessary. Surgery typically involves fixation with screws and plates. After surgery, it may be necessary to immobilize the jaws, but often only for a few days, after which people should only eat soft foods for several weeks.
What are the possible risks and complications?
The risk depends on the severity of the trauma and the patient’s clinical condition. Mild trauma usually does not cause any complications and extremely satisfactory results are achieved. Bruises are common and rarely require drainage.
In severe trauma it may be necessary to postpone treatment until the patient is stable and it is not uncommon to require more than one intervention to improve the outcome.
Having a correct facial injury treatment in Delhi in the facial injury is now a reality, the specialists are very well trained in this case of emergencies, in serious treatments and long-term reconstruction and rehabilitation of the patient.
