Introduction
The eyelids and eye area are comprised of delicate skin, tiny blood vessels and muscles, nerves, and other anatomical structures. Any trauma or injury to this area has far-reaching implications and may require eyelid facial reconstruction and trauma treatment. These procedures may help to protect eye function, as well as vision.
Facial trauma involving the area around the eyes, including the mid to upper face, can be a very difficult situation to deal with. Similar to with skin cancer excision, appropriate repair of a wound in this area of the face is extremely important to ensure adequate protection of the surface of the eye and preservation of vision. When dealing with such traumas, many people will desire the specialization of an oculofacial plastic surgeon to restore their appearance and maintain their function as close to normal as possible.
