Facial, Bone and Soft Tissue Disorders

Facial, Bone and Soft Tissue Disorders

Maxillofacial surgery
   Reconstruction of incisions and tissue loss after facial trauma;
  Our face is our window opening to the outside world and the communication tool of our social environment, unfortunately, it is our most important region, which is exposed to trauma and damage the most, in terms of healing and scars as a result of injury. In case of soft tissue damage after an incision or accident, it should be done in a timely manner and with appropriate treatment and repair options. It is important to manage and post scar treatment. and also planning and following the necessary repair in accordance with the anatomy is very important for the process.
Treatment of facial bone fractures;
 Fractures that will occur in the facial bones after accidents and traumas will present with visual anatomical problems and loss of function that begin when edema is removed in the future. Lower and upper jaw, eye area and skull bones should be repaired with plates in a short time in accordance with the anatomy of the face, and when the healing period is completed, minimum damage should be achieved. While placing the plates, the procedure is performed on the inside of the mouth, eyelid or damaged cut areas without creating an extra trace. It should not be forgotten that even 1 mm of slippage in the lower jaw bones causes dysfunctions such as chewing. It should be known that there are 3D functional organs that do not just repair. Although the functionality of other facial bones is low, repair planning is very important in order not to create asymmetry on the face visually.
Orthognathic surgery;
Congenital or subsequent anomalies in the lower and upper jaw, which are important parts of the facial bone structures, cause serious asymmetries on the face. It should not be forgotten that it also affects the nasal structure and breathing functions, as well as the mouth and jaw chewing functions. Functional and visual problems are eliminated by taking the lower and upper jaws forward and backward, making angular changes.
Facial tumor-cancer surgery
The facial area is the most common site of malignant cancers such as BCC, SCC and Melanoma. For the types of cancer that we encounter due to the fact that it is the most exposed to the sun, problems are solved with simple excisions and tissue repair in the early period, while surgical and non-surgical solutions are available in the later period without causing tissue loss and aesthetic problems.
temporomandibular joint diseases
The temporomandibular joint, which is our jaw joint, is a 3-dimensional moving, encapsulated and fluid-filled joint. Besides being quite strong and mobile, it is easily affected by trauma and disorders that cause joint surface damage. Even a simple clenching and grinding can cause TMJ disorders in which your mouth cannot be opened in the future. A problem that can be solved with loosening treatments in the early period may turn into a situation that requires surgery and does not have a complete solution in the future. It is necessary to get expert opinion and treatment in the early period for the complaints of our joint, which is very sensitive for chewing functions and life comfort.
Cleft lip and palate surgery
The most common congenital anomalies, cleft lip, cleft palate or cleft lip and palate coexisting disorders sometimes involve a period that needs to be corrected with multiple surgeries. Operations started at the age of 3 months can continue until the age of 18. It is very important to make good planning during the process for a good recovery and to minimize the psychological trauma. It is a laborious process that requires a multidisciplinary approach to plastic surgery, dentistry, pediatricians and later to orthodontic treatment.
