A facial wound dressing support device configured to accommodate a variety of facial injuries and expedites the healing process while minimizing the patients discomfort. As facial tissue has a high degree of sensitivity and is cosmetically significant, rapid healing with minimal permanent damage is highly desired. The subject wound dressing support device includes a facial mask made of a loose weave “loop like”, stretchable, breathable, washable and reusable material. The mask is adaptable to a multiplicity of differing facial topography structures on the head and face of the patient. The mask includes releasable hook fasteners at a first end of the mask which engage the loose weave material at various locations along a length of a second end the mask for securing the mask around the patients head and next to the patients face. The facial wound dressing support system may include openings for the patients eyes, mouth and nose to facilitate continuous use by the patient. The mask also includes a support strap attached to a bottom portion of the mask for holding the mask next to a patients nose or next to a patients chin.
