Maxillofacial Surgery Services in Secunderabad

The face is our window to the world; it is how we eat, speak, breathe, and express emotion. When injury, disease, or congenital defects affect the face, mouth, or jaws, the impact can be profound—both physically and emotionally.

Maxillofacial surgery is a specialised bridge between medicine and dentistry, dedicated to treating complex conditions of the head, neck, face, and jaws.

At Shenoy Multi-Speciality Hospitals, our Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery combines artistic precision with surgical expertise to restore not just function, but your confidence.

As one of the distinguished multispecialty hospitals in Marredpally, we provide advanced surgical care for a wide spectrum of issues, ranging from impacted wisdom teeth and facial trauma to corrective jaw surgery and oral cancer.

Our team understands the delicate anatomy of the face and employs state-of-the-art techniques to ensure optimal outcomes with minimal scarring, helping you face the world with a smile again.

Understanding Our Maxillofacial Surgery Services

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is a unique surgical specialty. While many people associate it with difficult tooth extractions, the scope is far broader.

Our surgeons are trained to operate on the hard and soft tissues of the face, managing diseases, injuries, and defects.

When you require maxillofacial surgery services in Secunderabad, you are seeking a team that can handle everything from relieving the chronic pain of a jaw joint disorder to reconstructing facial bones after an accident.

Our goal is to improve your quality of life through expert surgical intervention and restorative care.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Care

Because the face contains vital nerves and blood vessels, precise diagnosis is non-negotiable.

• Clinical Evaluation: A detailed assessment of facial symmetry, jaw movement, and oral health to understand the functional impact of your condition.
• 3D Imaging (CBCT): We use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to create three-dimensional images of your skull and teeth. This allows us to "see" inside the bone and plan surgeries with millimetre-perfect accuracy.
• Biopsy Services: For suspicious lesions or cysts in the mouth, we perform biopsies to rule out oral cancer or other pathologies.

Advanced Treatment and Surgical Care

We utilise the latest surgical techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness.

• Trauma Surgery: We use biocompatible titanium plates and screws to fix facial fractures (mandible, maxilla, zygoma) internally, often avoiding external scars.
• Orthognathic Surgery: For patients with severe underbites or overbites that braces alone cannot fix, we surgically reposition the jaws to achieve a perfect bite and facial profile.
• Minor Oral Surgery: Safe, painless removal of impacted wisdom teeth, cysts, and non-cancerous lumps under local or general anaesthesia.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Recovery from facial surgery requires patience and specialised care.

• Pain and Swelling Management: We use advanced protocols to minimise post-surgical swelling and discomfort.
• Dietary Guidance: Eating can be difficult after jaw surgery. Our dietitians provide customised liquid and soft diet plans to maintain nutrition during healing.
• Functional Rehabilitation: We guide patients through jaw exercises to restore normal mouth opening and function after trauma or joint surgery.

Diagnostic and Treatment Options

Our department offers a wide array of surgical solutions for complex oral and facial conditions.

Facial Trauma Management

Road accidents and sports injuries often result in facial fractures. We provide emergency care to repair:

• Mandibular Fractures: Broken lower jaws.
• Midface Fractures: Injuries to the nose, eye sockets (orbit), and cheekbones.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Expert suturing of facial cuts to minimise long-term scarring.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorders

Chronic jaw pain, clicking, or locking can be debilitating.

• Conservative Management: Splints, medication, and physiotherapy.
• Arthrocentesis: Washing out the joint to remove inflammatory by-products.
• TMJ Replacement: In severe cases of ankylosis (fused joint), we perform complex joint replacement surgery.

Pathology and Reconstruction

• Cyst and Tumour Removal: Surgical excision of benign cysts and tumours growing in the jawbones.
• Bone Grafting: Rebuilding bone in the jaw to prepare for dental implants or to repair defects left by trauma or tumour removal.

Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic)

This life-changing surgery corrects skeletal discrepancies.

• Prognathism/Retrognathism: Moving the upper or lower jaw forward or backward to align the teeth and improve the facial profile.
• Chin Surgery (Genioplasty): Reshaping the chin to balance facial features.

Emotional and Preventive Care

Facial surgery is deeply personal because it affects your appearance. We support you through the emotional aspects of your treatment.

Psychological Support

Undergoing surgery on the face can cause anxiety about appearance and scarring. Our team provides counselling and reassurance, explaining exactly what to expect. For trauma patients, we offer support to help process the psychological impact of the accident.

Preventive Oral Health

• Oral Cancer Screening: We educate patients on the signs of oral cancer (non-healing ulcers, white/red patches) and the dangers of tobacco and betel nut use. Early detection saves lives.
• Wisdom Tooth Assessment: We recommend early evaluation of wisdom teeth to prevent them from damaging neighbouring teeth or causing severe infections later in life.

Why do costs vary?

• Implants and Hardware: The cost of titanium plates and screws used to fix fractures varies depending on the number and size required.
• Anaesthesia: Procedures done under General Anaesthesia (GA) require an operation theatre and anaesthetist, which costs more than procedures done under Local Anaesthesia (LA).
• Complexity: A simple fracture is less expensive to treat than a complex "comminuted" fracture (bone broken into multiple pieces) requiring bone grafts.

Note: Our financial counsellors will provide a detailed estimate after your clinical and radiographic assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Will I have visible scars on my face after surgery?

Our surgeons are trained to minimise visible scarring. Whenever possible, we make incisions inside the mouth so there are no external scars. If an external incision is necessary (e.g., for a broken cheekbone), we place it in natural skin creases or the hairline to make it virtually invisible once healed.

2. How long does it take to recover from a broken jaw?

Healing times vary, but bones generally take about 6 weeks to knit together. During this time, you may need to be on a soft or liquid diet to avoid putting stress on the jaw. Full return to normal chewing function usually happens within 2 to 3 months.

3. What is a "liquid diet" and why do I need it?

After jaw surgery or fracture fixation, chewing can disrupt the healing bone or plates. A liquid diet (soups, smoothies, protein shakes) ensures you get nutrition without chewing. Our dietitians will help you plan varied and nutritious liquid meals so you don't lose weight or strength.

4. Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

No. If they grow in straight and you can clean them properly, they can stay. However, if they are impacted (stuck under the gum/bone), causing pain, damaging the tooth next to them, or causing cysts, they should be removed surgically.

5. Can surgery fix my clicking jaw?

Clicking alone isn't always a reason for surgery. However, if the clicking is accompanied by pain, locking of the jaw, or difficulty opening your mouth, you may have a TMJ disorder. We usually start with non-surgical treatments like splints and only consider surgery if those don't work.
