Introduction: facial fractures, as well as the extensive injuries of the head and neck region, are the most frequent surgical urgencies of the daily routine of the plastic surgeon. The treatment of these injuries in the emergency room, in most hospitals, does not have available medical and multiprofessional staff or even an adequate diagnostic structure. Given this scenario, many patients do not have the best course of action in the acute phase of the trauma and need to deal with the sequelae until they are referred to specialized centers. Objective: organize a care protocol through a smartphone application in order to optimize the referral of patients who suffered facial trauma to the reference centers. Results: the content of the application was distributed into the seven most frequent complications of facial trauma, with a simple presentation and in the form of an algorithm. Conclusion: The Facial Trauma application has proved to be an easy reference tool for the initial evaluation of patients with facial trauma in care units that do not have an on-site specialist.
