What is Soft Tissue & Facial Nerve Injury?
Soft tissue and facial nerve injuries involve damage to the muscles, skin, fat, or nerves in the face and surrounding areas. These injuries may result from trauma, surgery, infections, or congenital conditions.
What causes it:
- Trauma: Accidents, falls, sports injuries, or violence can cause cuts, bruises, or nerve damage to facial areas.
- Surgical complications: Damage during facial surgeries such as tumor excision or cosmetic procedures.
- Infections: Severe skin infections or abscesses can spread and damage underlying soft tissues or nerves.
- Congenital abnormalities: Certain birth defects may include underdeveloped or malformed facial structures and nerves.
- Tumors or cysts: Growths pressing on facial nerves or tissue structures.
Symptoms:
- Facial drooping or asymmetry due to nerve damage
- Loss of sensation or muscle movement in parts of the face
- Swelling, bruising, or open wounds in soft tissue areas
- Difficulty in facial expressions, chewing, or speaking
- Pain, tingling, or numbness in the affected regions
Complete Process
Clinical Assessment
We perform a detailed physical examination, assess nerve function using facial grading systems, and may recommend imaging (like CT or MRI) to evaluate deep injuries or fractures.
Primary Repair or Reconstruction
Soft tissue wounds are repaired using precise plastic surgical techniques to minimize scarring and restore natural facial contours.
Microsurgical Techniques
For complex nerve repairs, we use microsurgery with high-powered microscopes to reconnect tiny nerve branches. This improves the chances of regaining facial movement and sensation.
Rehabilitation & Functional Recovery
Post-surgery, patients undergo facial physiotherapy, muscle retraining, and emotional counseling. Recovery varies by the extent of damage and timing of surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Soft tissue injuries involve damage to the skin, fat, or muscles, while facial nerve injuries affect the nerves that control facial movements and sensations. These can occur due to trauma, surgery, infection, or congenital issues.
Symptoms include facial drooping, loss of muscle movement, numbness, tingling, difficulty speaking, chewing, or making expressions, and in some cases, pain or twitching in the affected area.
Yes. Treatment may involve surgical repair, nerve grafting, physical therapy, or reconstructive procedures depending on the severity and cause of the injury. Early diagnosis improves the chances of full or partial recovery.
Depending on the injury, the surgeon may reconnect severed nerves, perform nerve grafts, or use muscle or tissue transfers to restore movement and symmetry. The approach is tailored to the individual case.
Recovery time varies. Minor soft tissue injuries may heal in a few weeks, while nerve repairs can take several months to show significant improvement. Regular physiotherapy and follow-up care are essential.
With proper treatment, many patients regain function and appearance. However, outcomes vary depending on the extent of injury, timing of treatment, and rehabilitation efforts.
