All the wounds or cuts involving the forehead, eye brows, eyelids, cheek region, nose, ears, lips etc. are best treated by plastic surgery. All fractures involving the facial bones like forehead, orbits, nose, zygoma (cheekbones), upper jaw and the lower jaw or the mandible are treated by special techniques of plastic surgery i.e. maxillo-facial surgery.

Results of the surgery:
Any injury resulting in skin loss or deformity if treated primarily by a plastic surgeon results in a much better and finer recovery. It avoids later complications and future surgeries.
