Maxillofacial

What is a Maxillofacial procedure?

Maxillofacial and facial trauma surgery addresses injuries and structural problems affecting the face, jaw and surrounding soft tissues. Dr. Salim Sébastien AYOUB provides surgical assessment and reconstruction for selected facial injuries, with the goal of restoring facial structure, function and appearance as naturally as possible.

Facial trauma can result from road accidents, sports injuries, falls, fractures or other types of trauma. Depending on the injury, treatment may involve repair of facial fractures, soft-tissue reconstruction, correction of facial asymmetry or restoration of structures affected by trauma.

Because facial injuries can affect both appearance and function, treatment requires careful evaluation of the underlying anatomy as well as the visible injury. Dr. AYOUB’s approach focuses on restoring the most appropriate anatomical relationships while minimizing unnecessary intervention.

Treatment is individualized according to the type, location and severity of the injury, as well as the patient’s overall medical condition.
