Craniofacial surgery

Craniofacial surgery is a kind of surgery that involves fixing problems on the face or head. It is done to help people who were born with certain facial differences or have had accidents or injuries that have caused damage to the face or head. The surgery is done by doctors who specialize in craniofacial surgery, and can help improve the look or function of the face. For example, craniofacial surgery can be used to make a person’s nose look better, or to make a person’s jaws look more evenly balanced. Craniofacial surgery can also help correct problems that affect a person’s ability to breathe or eat.
