Management of Facial Trauma with Dr. Christina Yver

The Management of Facial Trauma

“Management of Facial Trauma,” the Eye & Ear Foundation’s February 27th webinar, is a topic that makes up a large part of Christina M. Yver’s practice. The MD, MBA. Division Chief of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and Director of the UPMC Facial Nerve Center said it is a very satisfying aspect of her practice that keeps her busy and on her toes. “I think it’s relevant to a lot of patients,” she added.
