Maxillofacial Reconstructive Surgery

Maxillofacial reconstructive surgery is a specialized field that focuses on repairing and reconstructing the bones, tissues, and structures of the face and jaw. This type of surgery is often needed after trauma, injury, birth defects, or diseases like cancer that affect facial appearance and function. It can involve procedures such as rebuilding the jawbone, restoring a normal bite, or correcting facial asymmetry. Surgeons in this field work to enhance both the aesthetic appearance and functional abilities of the face, helping patients regain confidence and improve their quality of life.
