What Is Craniofacial Surgery?
Craniofacial surgery involves surgical correction of complex facial and skull abnormalities. It may be required for:
- Congenital craniofacial deformities
- Facial asymmetry and skeletal imbalance
- Post-traumatic facial deformities
- Craniofacial syndromes
- Complex facial bone abnormalities
These conditions often require detailed evaluation and staged treatment plans.
A Multidisciplinary and Long-Term Approach
Craniofacial care often involves collaboration with neurosurgeons, paediatricians, orthodontists, ENT specialists, and speech therapists. Dr. Muddappa works closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care.
As a trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon with experience in complex reconstruction, Dr. Muddappa focuses on restoring both function and appearance. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s age, condition, and long-term needs.
Parents and patients are guided clearly through diagnosis, treatment stages, recovery, and follow-up care.
The Craniofacial Surgery Procedure
Craniofacial surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and may involve reshaping, repositioning, or reconstructing facial bones and soft tissues.
The procedure type and duration depend on the condition being treated. In some cases, surgery is done in stages to match facial growth and development.
Great care is taken to protect vital structures such as the brain, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels. Advanced surgical techniques help achieve accurate correction with minimal disruption.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery after craniofacial surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common initially and gradually improve.
Hospital stay may be required for monitoring and recovery. Follow-up visits are important to track healing, facial growth, and functional improvement.
In children, long-term follow-up is essential to ensure healthy development and address any future needs.
Who Needs Craniofacial Surgery?
Craniofacial surgery may be recommended for:
- Children born with craniofacial abnormalities
- Patients with facial deformities due to injury or disease
- Individuals with functional problems affecting breathing, vision, or speech
- Patients requiring correction of facial asymmetry
Early evaluation helps determine the most appropriate timing and approach for treatment.
