Facial Trauma Surgery | Dr Kartic Rajaram | Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery | King's College Hospital

After a serious car accident, the patient suffered from devastating facial injuries. His lower jaw had broken in three places, plus his cheekbone was also fractured. Because of the complexity of the fractures, he was transferred to King’s in Dubai for specialist care under Dr. Kartic, who focuses on maxillofacial trauma surgery. The case required careful reconstruction, not only to repair the bones, but to make sure his bite, speech, and facial symmetry were properly restored. The operation involved repositioning and stabilising multiple fractures so they could heal in the correct alignment. It was detailed, delicate work. Recovery progressed smoothly. Within just a few weeks, the patient was chewing comfortably and speaking normally again. Once he returned home, he was able to do his follow-up appointments virtually. Dr. Kartic reviewed his healing, answered questions, and ensured everything remained on track — providing reassurance even from a distance. For patients facing complex facial trauma, the right surgical expertise and structured aftercare can make all the difference.
