craniofacial surgery

 

Craniofacial (Face, Skull, Jaw and Chin)

In some cases, surgery is needed to correct major functional problems – for example, to create more space inside the skull to enable the brain to grow, or to provide better protection for prominent eyes, or to make breathing and/or feeding easier.

Introduction

As craniofacial surgery is often carried out on very young patients, parental consent and consultation is a crucial part of the treatment process. Parents will be asked to consider very carefully any surgery that is requested for purely cosmetic reasons, whereas decisions relating to the surgical correction of severe functional problems are generally easier to make.

Surprisingly, operations on the face and skull are usually accompanied by very little pain.  Swelling settles in a variable length of time, but in most cases the worst of the swelling will subside within the first two to four weeks.  However, it will take up to six to 12 months for all the swelling to settle completely and for the final results to be appreciated.

Complications following craniofacial surgery are uncommon, but as with any operation are not unknown. Clearly, the more complex the surgery the higher the risk of complication, but statistically even for the most complex craniofacial procedures severe complications are very rare.
