Associate Professor Duke University Durham, North Carolina
This comprehensive session bridges trauma, reconstructive surgery and facial esthetics in modern maxillofacial practice. Speakers will present advanced approaches that blend innovation with artistry in post-traumatic facial reconstruction for both adult and pediatric populations. Topics include post-traumatic scar management and minimally invasive strategies for facial fractures, particularly endoscopic approaches to the frontal region. Other discussions will focus on correction of post-traumatic facial deformities through precise osteotomies and contour restoration. The session culminates with emerging applications of patient-specific custom facial implants, showcasing digital planning and 3D printing for personalized reconstruction.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Integrate minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques in the management of facial fractures - particularly frontal and midfacial trauma - to optimize both functional and esthetic outcomes.
Evaluate and apply evidence-based strategies for post-traumatic scar management and correction of facial deformities in adult and pediatric patients using osteotomies and soft-tissue remodeling principles.
Incorporate digital planning and the use of patient-specific custom facial implants to enhance precision, symmetry and long-term results in post-traumatic facial reconstruction.
