What does facial trauma include?

Facial trauma can include everything from skin lacerations to broken facial bones. In a traumatic experience, jawbones, eye sockets, cheekbones, and the skull may be broken or fractured, leading to any number of problems for the victim.

Why should I choose Dr. Marucci to perform my surgery?

Dr. Marucci has had extensive training specifically for facial trauma. After receiving plastic surgery training in Sydney, he went to Oxford for a fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He then completed a specialist fellowship for Craniofacial Surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. Since he completed his extensive training, he returned to Sydney in 2007 where he has been working in the private and public sectors. Dr. Marucci works at St. George Hospital, St. George Private Hospital, the Aesthetic Day Surgery, and the Children’s Hospital Westmead. Dr. Marucci’s expertise is so extensive that he has even developed and patented his own range of surgical instruments used to reduce tissue trauma and improve healing.

What kind of procedures will be done?

Your treatment depends on your individual case. The purpose of facial trauma surgery in Sydney is to repair the structure of the face so that it can function properly. Dr. Marucci and his staff will use modern technology, such as a CT Scan, to provide an accurate diagnose and treatment plan. Many maxillofacial surgeries require restructuring of the bones due to fractures or breaks in facial bones from trauma. Fine plates and screws are used to maintain good fracture alignment. These are inserted through the types of incisions Dr Marucci uses in his cosmetic surgery practice, to ensure a result that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. It may be necessary to repair the structure and shape of the nose, resulting in rhinoplasty. Blepharoplasty may be necessary if the tissue surrounding the orbital sockets is damaged. Soft tissue repair including the skin and muscles may also be needed to regain structure and functionality of the face. A/Prof Damian Marucci will find what surgical procedures are best for your specific needs.

What is the recovery process like?

Recovery will vary based on the severity of your surgical needs. Recovery could be as simple as a few weeks but could take longer if several procedures are necessary. Depending on the location of the surgery, a restricted diet (eg a non chew soft diet) may be required for a few weeks. Be sure to follow any instructions Dr. Marucci may provide to ensure your healing process is speedy and you can return to regular activity.
