Facial bone reduction surgery

Everyone loves beauty, but blindly pursuing beauty and undergoing surgery on your face will have an impact on your body. Although bone reduction surgery only removes part of the bone, it still requires careful conditioning. Avoid contact with water and eating spicy foods to prevent wound infection. Pay more attention to rest and don't stay up late. Avoid making exaggerated expressions in the early stages and try not to make any expressions to avoid affecting the healing of the wound.

Are there any side effects of plastic surgery?

Plastic surgery is always risky and will have some side effects. Double eyelid surgery may result in one eye being uneven. Not to mention bone grinding and bone cutting surgery. Among plastic surgeries, the risks of bone grinding and bone cutting surgery can be said to be quite high. Let’s not talk about the surgical process and risks. Surgery is full of unknowns and risks, which are unavoidable. We should think about how to avoid them. Only by choosing regular hospitals and professional doctors can we reduce risks.

1. Negotiation: Before the operation, tell the doctor the part you want to change and the degree you want to achieve. Doctors will usually take X-rays or even MRIs of the patient before surgery in order to clearly understand his or her bone structure. Doctors will then make recommendations based on individual characteristics, taking into account the patient's wishes and the doctor's advice and listing the final surgical method and plan.

2. Anesthesia: divided into local anesthesia and general anesthesia. In terms of the surgical effect itself, both types of anesthesia can complete the operation, but during the incision and operation, the surgeon using local anesthesia can feel the vibration of the machine, etc., and therefore feel fear. Therefore, if the patient does not want to feel the surgical process at all, the doctor recommends using general anesthesia. Anesthesia is actually a very important part of surgery, especially when the patient wakes up after the surgery, so I won’t go into details.

3. Incision: Make an incision on the inside of the mouth near the mandibular angle or cheekbone, turn over the entire facial skin and muscles from the inside of the mouth, separate the muscles from the periosteum, expose the bone area that needs surgery, and then perform the surgery.

4. Hemostasis: The effectiveness of hemostasis not only affects the safety of the surgeon during the operation, but is also an important factor in the occurrence of postoperative hematoma. If you choose bone cutting surgery, in addition to stopping bleeding when separating the muscles from the periosteum, you must also apply bone wax to the wound after the bone is removed. This is to stop bleeding and help the bone recover. Stopping bleeding is very important. If bleeding is not stopped properly, suffocation, excessive bleeding, or even death may occur.

6. Treatment of masticatory muscles: After the operation, due to changes in the skeletal supporting structure of the masticatory muscles, the doctor will treat them according to the hypertrophy of the masticatory muscles of the patient. If the bone is too enlarged, some muscles can be removed from the back to adapt to the new bone structure. If the bone is not too enlarged, no additional adjustments are required because the muscles themselves will atrophy after the operation.

7. Suture and drainage: Place a drainage tube while suturing the wound to eliminate blood stasis and avoid problems such as obstruction of the respiratory tract. The drainage tube can usually be removed the day after surgery.

8. Appropriate pressure bandage: Bandaging the face can not only stop bleeding to a certain extent, but also help shape the face. During this process, the doctor will give the patient an appropriate amount of antibiotics to prevent wound infection, and sometimes a small amount of hormones will need to be injected to reduce the degree of facial swelling.
