Facial Trauma

Facial trauma refers to injuries to the face, which can involve the skin, bones, or soft tissues. Common causes include accidents, fights, falls, or sports injuries. Symptoms may include swelling, bruising, pain, and difficulty moving the jaw or eyes. In severe cases, fractures to the nose, cheeks, or jaw may occur. Treatment can range from rest and ice for mild injuries to surgery for more serious cases. Prompt medical attention is essential to properly assess and manage these injuries, as they can affect not only appearance but also function, such as breathing and eating.
