Oral & Maxillofacial surgery specializes in treating many diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the Oral (mouth) and Maxillofacial (jaws and face) region. Some of the surgery procedures that an oral surgeon is capable of handling include blepharoplasty (surgery for correction of sagging eyelids/bags). An oral surgeon also specialises in cosmetic surgery such as tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, orthognathic surgery which is a corrective surgery for the jaw and face related to the structure.
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a regional specialist surgeon treating the entire craniomaxillofacial complex: anatomical area of the mouth, jaws, face, skull, as well as associated structures. To make things even simpler, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon is an orthopedic surgeon of the facial region. The specialist can address problems ranging from the removal of impacted teeth to the repair of facial trauma.
