Cosmetic Maxillofacial Surgery

Cosmetic maxillofacial surgery is used to repair physical malformations resulting from disease, injury, burns, birth defects or aging. It may also serve to restore normal function and improve individual appearance.

Because of their surgical and dental background, oral and maxillofacial surgeons are uniquely qualified in the treatment of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws. Extensive education and training in surgical procedures involving both the soft tissue (skin and muscle) and hard tissue (bone and cartilage) of the maxillofacial area, makes the oral and maxillofacial surgeon finely attuned to the importance of harmony between facial appearance and function.
