Alex C:
That is pretty interesting. I wonder if that affects healing time in general, not just healing time relative to other injuries. You know, like the body may divert more resources to patching up various areas more quickly just in general. I had a friend who was also involved in a bike accident; he wasn't hit by a car or anything, but he had some cuts and some rather severe road rash on his face, but it healed up amazingly quickly. It would make sense in light of how much sheer blood flow there is in your face; the skin around there is rather vascular.

KvP:
It might not have as much to do with the body's prioritization so much as the tissue itself, and its use. I know lots of stories about eyebrow piercings healing over in a day or less and having to be redone. Leg, back and hip injuries take so long to heal not because they're low priority, but because those parts of the body bear weight, which complicates the healing process significantly.
