The surgeons at the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery offer facial trauma solutions for individuals residing in Austin & Sunset Valley, TX. Traumatic injury to the soft tissue and bones of the face can have severe psychological and physical repercussions. The victim of a motor-vehicle accident, domestic abuse or some other type of assault may be left with an indelible imprint of the injury. As with all facial reconstructive procedures, the surgeon’s goal is to return the soft tissue and bony fractures as close to their pre-injury state as possible and return the patient to his/her normal daily life as quickly as possible. Often this can be done with a single procedure, but when scars cross facial sub-units, future scar revision or skin resurfacing may be necessary. The surgeons at the Buckingham Center have experience spanning the entire realm of facial fractures including jaw, cheek, orbit, nose and forehead. During a private consultation, one of our surgeons can determine whether an individual is a good candidate for facial plastic surgery.
