The orbital bones surround the eye in a circular form. When a blunt force impacts the face during an accident, these delicate bones can be fractured. In many cases, fractures to the orbital bones heal without surgical intervention. However, there are instances where they may be crushed or pose a risk to the eyes, requiring reconstructive surgery to repair. Dr. Linkov has extensive experience in facial reconstruction surgery, using the most advanced techniques and methods to restore form and function to the facial features.
Do I Need Eye Socket Repair Surgery?
If a fracture of the orbital bones occurs, it is most likely to affect the bottom of the eye socket. Small hairline fractures can heal on their own, but more extensive breaks may require facial surgery. Since these bones enclose the eye, it is vital to have a surgeon that understands the intricacies of oculoplastic surgery. Dr. Linkov is meticulous in his repairs of orbital fractures to protect the eye from damage, while ensuring aesthetic results for the facial structure.
If you have sustained an injury that has caused an orbital bone fracture, contact City Facial Plastics in New York City today. We will schedule your consultation with Dr. Linkov to determine whether eye socket reconstruction surgery is required to protect your eyes and appearance.
