Trauma in Plastic Surgery – Restoring Form and Function

What is Trauma in Plastic Surgery?
Trauma refers to any sudden injury caused by external force. In plastic surgery, trauma care goes beyond aesthetics — it focuses on reconstruction, restoration of function, and a return to normal life after injury.
At Grandville Medical & Laser, our plastic surgeons are trained not only in cosmetic procedures but also in complex reconstructive surgeries for traumatic injuries to the face, limbs, soft tissue, and skin.
