Abstract

When a newly inducted plastic surgery resident embarks on maxillofacial surgery, with drills, screws, plates and burrs, it seems like a new domain altogether. As a new resident, it is truly fascinating as to how such wide variety of bony work is done without scarring over the face. Here we discuss a few practical tips which the author has learned during his surgical sojourn in residency. It is hoped that the readers who are new to maxillofacial surgery, shall find these useful.
