Nasal Fractures

Nasal fractures (broken nose) can lead to impaired nasal breathing, snoring at night, and its appearance can have a strong negative impact on your self esteem. If you have a new injury, you should seek medical attention before the broken bones heal in place, to allow for correction without surgery. If your break is old and healed, it can be corrected only through surgery.

Orbital Fractures

Fractures of the bones around the orbital cavity (eye socket) can interfere with eye movement and can lead to blindness. If vision is affected, surgery is certainly indicated.

Zygomatic Fractures

Zygomatic (cheek bone) fractures, aside from creating a visible facial abnormality, can interfere with chewing and eye movement. If you think you may have a broken cheek bone, you should see medical attention before the bone heals in its broken position. If you think you vision is being affected, you should seek medical attention immediately.

Mandibular Fractures

Mandibular (jaw) fractures are amongst the most common facial fractures (after nasal fractures). Treatment options can include soft diet, screws and plates, and wiring of teeth together. If you think you may have a broken jaw, you should seek medical attention early to avoid potentially severe infections and misalignment of your teeth.
