This is what happens when you use an angle grinder without a face shield for protection!

The patient sustained lacerations going through the left nostril and extending downwards, splitting up the upper lip. The right picture shows the patient post-op, showing great aesthetic and functional results with barely noticable scar. Aesthetically pleasing wound closure can be achieved with thorough debridement, resection of wound edges and careful layered functional closure after reduction and fixation of potential facial bone injuries. However the injuries produced can often be disfiguring, permanently disabling or even fatal and are mostly preventable. Before using such a power tool proper protective gear should be worn.
