Repair of facial soft-tissue lacerations addresses cuts and avulsions to the lips, cheeks, eyelids, or forehead. The goal is to achieve meticulous tissue alignment to preserve function (speech, eyelid closure) and minimize visible scarring.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Dr. Singhavi assesses wound depth, contamination, and involvement of critical structures (orbicularis oris, canthal tendons). Under local or monitored anesthesia, he debrides devitalized tissue, irrigates thoroughly, and layers closure—from deep muscle/fascial layers to skin—using fine, absorbable sutures for mucosa and subcutaneous tissues, and non-absorbable sutures for skin. He employs eversion techniques and precise suture spacing to avoid dog-ears and tension. Postoperatively, he advises on scar massage, sun protection, and silicone sheeting.
Benefits :
Meticulous repair by Dr. Singhavi yields minimal scar visibility, preserved motor and sensory function, and reduced risk of wound dehiscence or infection. Early suture removal and scar management optimize healing, restoring patients’ confidence in facial appearance. Functional closure safeguards speech
