How hard did you think I got hit to cause this much damage? I mean, my nose broke in two places and my sinus cavity, eye socket, and cleft palate got slightly damaged too. I was sent to a plastic surgeon for some medical plastics or something, and when I breathe in or drink, my cheek feels cold. I'm just trying to understand the impact it must've taken to do all this.

It sounds like you sustained significant trauma to your face. The extent of the damage suggests a forceful impact. In this case, the plastic surgeon may prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. For pain relief, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg can be taken every 8 hours to prevent infection. It is important to follow up with your plastic surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.

Looking for a skilled surgeon who specializes in underarm surgery for hidradenitis suppurativa. Wondering if laser treatment is a good option for this condition or if surgery would be better. What are the pros and cons of each?

For hidradenitis suppurativa in the underarm area, both laser treatment and surgery can be options, but they have different approaches and outcomes. Laser hair removal, specifically with an alexandrite laser, has shown promise in reducing symptoms and preventing new lesions. Surgery, such as radical excision or laser excision followed by skin grafting, is considered for severe or persistent cases and can offer more definitive results.
