What is Orofacial Reconstruction?
Orofacial reconstruction surgery restores the face, jaw, mouth, and head following trauma, tumours, infections, congenital defects, and other complications. This procedure may involve the facial bones, skull, nerves, skin, and surrounding tissues for enhancing the appearance as well as restoring normal functioning of the body parts. Bone grafting, microsurgery, and tiny fixation plates can be used by surgeons to ensure proper healing and reconstruction.
Dr. Mukul N. Padhye offers specialised maxillofacial reconstruction in Mumbai with utmost care and personal attention towards his patients. He assists patients suffering from different problems in their jaws and faces through treatment that focuses on providing comfort and functionality to them.

Common Reasons for Orofacial Reconstruction
- Facial Trauma and Injuries – Injuries to the mouth, jaw bones, cheeks, eye sockets, face skin, and nerves that can impair your ability to eat, speak, and move.
- Surgery for Tumour and Cancer – If you have any tumours in your mouth, head, and neck area, removal may require some surgery in the jawbone, tongue, palate, or surrounding areas.
- Cleft Lip and Palate – This is part of congenital problems that affect the mouth and face area.
- Problems with Jawbones and Other Bones – Misalignment of the jaws, bone loss, TMJ, and other problems in your jawbone require orthognathic surgery.

Types of Orofacial Reconstruction Procedures
- Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer (Free Flaps) – Microsurgery is used for moving bone, muscle, skin, or soft tissue from other parts of the body such as the fibula, forearms, or thighs, into the face.
- Bone Grafting – Bone grafting employs either artificial, autogenous, or allogenic bone material to reconstruct any damage done to the jaws.
- Local and Regional Flaps – The buccal fat pad and temporalis muscle can be transferred to small defects within the mouth or palate area.
- Maxillofacial Prosthetics and Implants – Custom-made prosthetic devices, along with titanium dental implants, aid in replacing missing teeth and jaw parts.

Recovery & Aftercare
- Post-Surgery – First Few Days – There may be some swelling, pain, and even bleeding in the first 48 hours after surgery. Ensure that you get plenty of rest, lie down with your head elevated, and use cold compresses to reduce swelling.
- Diet and Fluids – Eat soft foods like yogurt, soups, mashed potatoes, and fruit smoothies. Refrain from eating highly spiced, crunchy, or hot foods that may irritate the surgical site.
- Oral Hygiene Measures – Avoid vigorous rinsing for the first 24 hours. Mild salt water rinses and gentle brushing of the teeth around the healthy teeth are recommended.
- Additional Healing Assistance – Abstain from smoking and drinking alcohol during healing, and make sure to consume your prescribed medication.
