For today, Dr. Toriumi tackles facial plastic surgery options after an accident or traumatic incident.

Facial reconstruction
Facial reconstruction is one of the most common facial plastic surgery procedures performed on patients who have suffered severe damage to the face. Patients who have experienced facial lacerations and facial fractures from fights, animal attacks, vehicular accidents, burning, or violence of any kind come to facial plastic surgeons. Facial reconstruction involves fixing facial nerve damage, skin, eye sockets, cheek, and jawbones.

Rhinoplasty
Another common facial plastic surgery procedure done for patients after suffering trauma to the face is rhinoplasty. While this procedure is often associated with more aesthetic enhancement purposes, it’s also done on patients who have their noses broken in fights, most notably athletes engaged in contact sports such as boxing and MMA. Rhinoplasty repairs noses so patients can breathe normally again.

Blepharoplasty
Dr. Dean Toriumi also cites blepharoplasty as one of the more oft-performed facial reconstructive procedures. Through this particular procedure, eye sockets and the skin in the area, damaged by accidents, are fixed.
