Facial trauma can be caused by an accident, injury, or illness, leaving patients with physical disfigurements that can significantly affect their everyday lives. Fortunately for these patients, there are several procedures available to restore the appearance of the face, as well as the patient's self-confidence about the way they look. Facial fractures are often repaired with titanium plates and screws placed via inconspicuous incision within the mouth, eyelid, or hairline.
