Facial disfigurement can result in a severe loss of confidence and can cause long term psychological suffering often to resurface long after the aesthetic healing is underway. The management of facial injuries should integrate a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the psychological needs of the patients in both the short term and the long term. Close attention by surgeons towards patient's behaviour may aid in early identification of post traumatic stress disorder in facial trauma patients.

Abstract


Facial disfigurement can result in a severe loss of confidence and can cause long term psychological suffering often to resurface long after the aesthetic healing is underway. The management of facial injuries should integrate a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the psychological needs of the patients in both the short term and the long term. Close attention by surgeons towards patient's behaviour may aid in early identification of post traumatic stress disorder in facial trauma patients.
