Facial trauma can occur unexpectedly and often requires
specialized surgical care.
At Georgia Oral and Facial Surgery, our doctors
provide expert treatment for facial trauma injuries caused by
motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, and interpersonal
violence. Our focus is on restoring facial function, comfort, and
appearance as safely and efficiently as possible.
Our
practice is recognized for advanced training in oral and
maxillofacial trauma surgery, with doctors educated at leading
institutions such as Harvard University, Emory University, and the
University of Miami, as well as high-volume Level I trauma
centers. This depth of training allows our team to manage both
straightforward and complex facial injuries for patients
throughout Atlanta and the surrounding communities.
The
doctors at Georgia Oral and Facial Surgery are board-certified
oral and maxillofacial surgeons whose complementary training
provides truly comprehensive facial trauma care. Dr. Shahrokh C.
Bagheri completed dedicated fellowship training in
cranio-maxillofacial trauma surgery, while Dr. H. Ali Khan
completed advanced fellowship and board-certified training in
facial cosmetic surgery. Together, this combination ensures expert
care focused on both restoring function and achieving the best
possible long-term facial appearance.
Their combined
medical and dental training allows for comprehensive care in a
single setting, often avoiding the need for multiple specialists.
We work closely with emergency departments, trauma teams, and
referring physicians throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area to
ensure coordinated, timely care from initial injury through
recovery.
Our doctors are authors of peer-reviewed
scientific publications on facial trauma and remain actively
involved in research, education, and surgical training. This
commitment ensures that patients receive care based on the most
current, evidence-based surgical techniques.
We
understand that facial injuries affect more than just physical
health. Our patient-centered approach emphasizes clear
communication, compassionate care, and careful attention to
long-term outcomes. By integrating advanced trauma reconstruction
with principles of facial cosmetic surgery, we strive to help
patients return as closely as possible to their pre-injury
appearance and daily activities.
Not all facial fractures require surgery. Some minor or stable fractures can be treated with close monitoring, while more complex fractures may require surgical repair to restore proper function and appearance.
You should seek evaluation as soon as possible after an injury involving the face, jaws, teeth, or eye sockets—especially following a car accident, fall, or sports injury.
Surgeons use careful techniques and natural facial contours to minimize visible scarring whenever possible. Many incisions are placed inside the mouth or in less noticeable areas.
Yes. Our surgeons treat facial trauma patients at Northside Hospital Gwinnett, a Level II Trauma Center, and work closely with emergency physicians and trauma teams to provide coordinated, hospital-based care when needed.
