What Causes Chances In The Face After Zygomatic Fractures Reconstructive Surgery?

default
Posted on Mon, 8 Dec 2014
Question: Hello,i`ve posted questions in this forum before asking about my facial changes after an orbital floor and zygomatic fractures reconstructive surgery that i had in the left side of my face.
I saw huge changes to the way i smile,eat and talk after the surgery.The surgery was done like 9 months ago.
So long story short,after these months asking questions and going to the doctors i ended up with the conclusion that my facial bones have been dramatically changed,in a way that they healed more outwards,more upwards and more leftwards(like my whole left side of my face has moves away of the right one)
I have some pictures to show you what i mean exactly.The spots where my smile ends,is probaply where the bone starts.Because when i smile and i touch my face on the normal side,my smile ends where my zygomatic bones starts,and that makes sense,i dont have to be a doctor to find out that your facial expressions are phormized based on your facial bones.
Is there any thing that i can do to improve this asymmetry or i have to stay like this for ever?
I am so depressed i dont even want to talk to people anymore because my face looks weird when i do facial expressions.

Usually surgeries lead to slight deformity but these can be corrected with reconstructive surgery.

cosmetic surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
I can see there is a slight deviation of mouth. However it is not that obvious.
Just relax. If you want it to be corrected you have to meet a cosmetic surgeon.
There is no medical management available for this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
