WHAT IS A MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON?

A maxillofacial surgeon is someone who works on one of the most delicate and visible areas of the body: the face. They don't just extract teeth or place implants. They go far beyond that.

This specialist is trained to reconstruct jaws, correct facial deformities, treat serious injuries, and restore essential functions such as speaking, breathing, and eating without pain. Their work blends medicine, dentistry, and cosmetic surgery. They are like an architect of the face, understanding both its structure and expression.
