Jaw surgery
My brother met with a bike accident a day ago and has immense swelling in his face and has multiple facial fractures including nose. Currently, he is admitted in St.John's hospital, Bangalore.Doctors told that he may need a Jaw surgery for upper jaw but can confirm only after the swelling comes down.
Can someone pls advise how long it might take for swelling to come down and if the surgery is needed, which doctor or hospital is best to get it done? I researched a bit online and it says that it's a very critical surgery and needs a very experienced doctor to have a successful one. We are not in a position to afford very expensive treatment. Please advise if there will be any complications and how much would the cost come upto.
