Facial Bone Fracture

Facial fractures are damaged bones anywhere on the face, including the nose, cheekbones, area around the eyes, and the upper and lower jaw.

Symptoms of a facial fracture

Symptoms of a nose fracture:

  • Bruises on the skin caused when blood leaks from broken blood vessels
  • Discolouration under the eyes
  • Stoppage of nostrils or a deviated septum
  • Twisted or crooked nose or indented bridge
  • Twisted Jaw 
  • Altered face structure

Symptoms of an orbital fracture:

  • Blurry, decreased or double vision
  • Trouble in eye movements
  • Swelling of forehead or cheek or puffiness under the eyes
  • The flatness of the cheeks
  • Sunken or bulging eyeballs
  • Facial numbness near the injury
  • Discolouration in the sclera (white part of the eye)

Symptoms of upper or lower jaw fractures:

  • The trouble with chewing, eating or speaking
  • Loose, broken or missing teeth
  • Teeth not fitting together properly
  • Cheek pain when opening the mouth

How are facial fractures treated?

  • Your doctor may suggest pain-reducing drugs, as well as some antibiotics if there’s a high risk of infection.
  • In general, performing a closed reduction or open reduction may cure fractures. For a complex injury with multiple broken bones, one might need reconstructive surgery.
  • The type of handling will depend on the location and level of the injury. Treatment for facial fractures intends to reconstruct the normal appearance and function of the injured areas.
