title: Soft tissue facial trauma.
abstract: Treatment of soft tissue facial trauma requires attention to detail. Careful cleansing, debridement, tailoring of skin edges and meticulous closure are factors which control the ultimate result. Specific attention is required for the special problems of eyelids, auricles, lips, nose and inside of the mouth. Scar formation occurs after all trauma and sometimes requies revision. In general, revision should be performed after maturation of the scar.
