More About Facial Fractures & Trauma
Frequently asked questions
Wondering how facial trauma is treated? We break it down for you.
What is Facial Trauma?
Facial trauma refers to any injury to the face, including fractures to the jaw, cheekbones, eye sockets, or nasal bones, as well as soft tissue injuries like cuts and bruises.
Common causes of facial trauma include accidents, falls, sports injuries, and violence. Treatment focuses on repairing fractures, restoring function, and improving the appearance of the face to help you regain both form and function.
What payment options do you offer?
We understand that surgery is a significant investment which is why we offer flexible payment options to help make your treatment more accessible. We offer EFTPOS, major credit cards and providers such as ZIP and After Pay. Be sure to check your eligibility for rebates and health cover to help manage your health care expenses.
NOTE: For treatments under local anaesthetic, payment is due on the day of your procedure and for treatments involving IV sedation or general anaesthesia, payment is required 7 days before your appointment.
How long does it take to recover after facial trauma surgery?
Recovery time after facial trauma surgery depends on the severity of the injury and the type of procedure performed. While you may start feeling better within a few weeks, full recovery often takes a few months.
Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor your healing progress, manage discomfort, and ensure your recovery is on track. We’ll be with you every step of the way, providing the support and guidance you need.
How long to heal and will I scar?
We prioritise minimising scarring by making incisions in hidden areas of the face. Using minimally invasive techniques and endoscopic-assisted methods, we reduce the likelihood of visible scars and promote faster healing. Our goal is to restore your face’s natural function and appearance while ensuring any scarring is discreet and minimal.
Not every facial fracture requires immediate surgery. For some injuries, it is better to wait for swelling to go down. However, it is always best to be assessed by a professional to be 100% sure.
After assessing your injury and medical history, our team will determine the most suitable treatment plan for you. We’ll explain all available options and work with you to create a personalised treatment approach that meets your needs and expectations.
