Craniofacial and Maxillofacial Reconstruction in Turkey

What is Craniofacial and Maxillofacial Surgery?

In the maxillofacial and craniofacial parts of the face, there can be deformations and abnormalities caused by various reasons. For kids, they result from birth defects however for adults they occur as a result of trauma or diseases. No matter the reason is, due to the complex anatomical structures of the regions, the soft tissue of the facial region, the mucosa of the mouth and lip region, cartilage tissues in the nose area, skull and jaw-facial bones and teeth can be damaged at the same time.

These damages in the region cause functional, auditory and aesthetic disorders in the patients and seriously affect the vital functions of the patient such as nutrition. For this reason, the reconstructions of craniofacial and maxillofacial region damage have been a characteristic surgical intervention from past to present.

The hard and soft tissue grafts obtained from the patient's own tissue according to need can be used for the reconstruction of damages in the maxillofacial and craniofacial areas, as well as the composite grafts containing these tissues can be used when necessary.

Craniofacial reconstruction and maxillofacial reconstruction are two serious surgeries that should be operated by multiple surgeons who are experts in their fields. Namely, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, neurosurgeons, ophthalmic (eye) and oculoplastic (eye socket and associated structures) surgeons, oral and maxillofacial (jaw and face) surgeons, and otolaryngology (head and neck) surgeons may be needed to take part in depending on the procedures.

 

Craniofacial and Maxillofacial Reconstruction in Turkey

Craniofacial reconstruction is a surgery done under general anesthesia to fix problems with the head, skull, face and neck while maxillofacial reconstruction is a surgery done under general anesthesia to correct issues with the jaw. These operations can be done either separately or together depending on the patient’s medical conditions.

Both surgeries are consulted frequently since they target the issues on the face. Face is the part of the body that takes most of the attention relatively; it is the most operated area of the body. To reconstruct damaged bone, tissue, disfigured areas on the face, small or big jaws, and disproportionate parts by improving the appearance make these surgeries really common among the others. For a symmetrical and proportional face, craniofacial reconstruction and maxillofacial reconstruction are performed in Turkey.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common conditions that require craniofacial reconstruction whereas maxillofacial reconstruction deals with jaw defects in upper and lower jaws. They serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. To be more specific, if the patient is suffering from upper and lower teeth overlap, he/she may not be content with how aesthetic the look is and he/she may even end up with digestion problems. To solve both structural and aesthetic problems, maxillofacial reconstruction is frequently preferred for jaw reconstruction. Biting and chewing problems are commonly faced and solved by the best maxillofacial surgeons in Turkey.

Today, maxillofacial reconstruction is considered a part of aesthetic surgeries, as jaw is a prominent part of the face having huge effect on it. Orthodontic dental treatment (dental braces), and orthognathic surgery (shifting jawbones back and forth) are commonly used during maxillofacial reconstruction in Turkey.

Jaw rasping surgery is an operation aiming to eliminate deformities in the upper or lower jaw bones for a better look. It is a plastic surgery done for aesthetic purposes.
