Facial Trauma
In the unfortunate event of trauma to the face or jaw, there are various procedures available to repair fractures of the facial bones. Our surgeons are highly skilled in the area of reconstructive surgery and can replace the bones in their position to maintain a natural appearance. They routinely treat patients in the emergency room at the McGill University Health Center, Honoré-Mercier Hospital and Sacré-Coeur Hospital.
