Expert Evaluation and Care for Facial Lacerations

A cut or tear, called a laceration, on your face or neck needs special attention right away. This delicate skin is more susceptible to scarring, infection and permanent damage. You need a specialist with advanced training to treat complex wounds and minimize scarring. 

Our fellowship-trained surgeons are nationally recognized leaders in their field, sought out for their expertise and skills. You receive care from surgeons specially trained to close facial lacerations and restore your appearance. We use the latest facial laceration treatments to repair damaged skin and enhance healing.  

We evaluate facial lacerations to determine the damage to underlying blood vessels, nerves, muscles or other tissues. This allows us to discover the best approach to close the wound and ensure optimal healing — whether it’s skin adhesive, sutures (stitches) or other methods. 

We use a variety of approaches, depending on the location and complexity of the laceration. Our surgeons also perform scar revision surgery to minimize scars from previous lacerations that resulted in scarring. Scar revision surgery can blend scars with the surrounding skin to make them less noticeable. Your treatment is personalized to your needs. We make sure you understand the healing process and what results you can expect.
