DISFIGUREMENT CAUSES
Face injuries and disfigurement are a result of accidents that affected those areas. For example, dog bite injuries typically affect the face, neck or upper body area. Dog bites vary in size and impact. If a powerful dog attacked you like a pit bull or German Shepard, then you probably suffered multiple puncture wounds or lacerations caused by the teeth scratching the skin. Other accidents include, but are not limited to
- Car accident
- Truck accident
- Bus accident
- Motorcycle accident
- Bicycle accident
- Pedestrian accident
- Chemical accident
- Firearm accident
- Explosion accident
These kinds of accidents involve situations where a person’s skin can experience second or third-degree burns. Depending on the severity of the burn, the skin will not be able to grow back smoothly or even the same color. Sometimes chemical burns can leave permanent scarring even after skin grafting to help the skin grow back.
Other accidents may cause broken bones like skull fractures or broken facial bones like cheeks, nose, or bones surrounding mouth or eyes. Breaking bones in this area can cause permanent disfigurement. Those who attempt reconstruction surgery may undergo more pain in an attempt to look as they once did. Reconstruction surgery is expensive and can cause extended pain. When you are recovering from an injury, the last thing you want to experience is more pain.
