Overview

What is Facial Fracture Repair?

Facial fracture repair, also known as “orbital fracture repair,” is a specialized surgical procedure to correct breaks or cracks in one or more eye socket bones. These injuries can result from motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, or industrial accidents. Orbital fractures are painful and can impair vision if the muscles surrounding the eye are damaged. Symptoms often include swelling, double vision, and a recessed eye appearance once the swelling subsides. Both functional and cosmetic concerns often necessitate surgical intervention to restore the affected area.

Dr. Daneshrad expertly repairs facial fractures in Los Angeles, restoring function and aesthetics to help patients fully recover from facial trauma involving the cheeks, jaw, nose, or forehead.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for Orbital Fracture Repair?

Ideal candidates for orbital fracture repair typically include:

Individuals with confirmed orbital fractures that affect vision or the eye’s appearance
Patients experiencing symptoms such as double vision, pain, or significant swelling
Those in good general health who can safely undergo surgery
Individuals with fractures severe enough to require surgical intervention rather than observation

Your eligibility will be determined through a detailed assessment, including a physical examination and imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans.

What to Expect

What Results Can I Expect From an Orbital Fracture Repair?

The primary goal of orbital fracture repair is to restore the eye’s natural function and appearance. Dr. Daneshrad’s patients can expect:

Improved or restored vision (if affected by the injury).
Reduced swelling and a return to the natural positioning of the eye.
Enhanced cosmetic appearance by correcting deformities caused by the fracture.
Minimized risk of long-term complications, such as persistent double vision or recessed eye placement.

For the best outcomes, our surgery may include repositioning tissue, removing bone fragments, and placing implants for structural support. Dr. Daneshrad will work to ensure complete healing and an optimal aesthetic result.

What to Expect During Orbital Fracture Repair in Los Angeles

Orbital fracture repair is performed under general anesthesia. Here’s what the procedure typically involves:

Incision Placement: Small incisions are made inside the eyelid or the conjunctiva (the tissue lining the inner eyelid) to access the fracture site.
Bone and Tissue Repositioning: Broken bone fragments are carefully removed, and displaced muscles and tissues are repositioned.
Implant Placement: If necessary, implants made of materials like titanium, synthetic mesh, or bone grafts (from the patient or a donor) are used to support the damaged bones.
Incision Closure: Once the repair is complete, incisions are meticulously closed to minimize visible scarring.

After the procedure, patients are monitored closely and may stay overnight in the hospital if needed. Recovery involves avoiding pressure on the eye area and following post-operative care instructions, including using prescribed medications.
