Is there swelling and congestion after bone grinding in Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital?

Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital is a well-known hospital located in Guangzhou, which provides various cosmetic and plastic operations. Bone grinding is one of the common operations in the hospital. Many patients often worry about whether there will be swelling and congestion after bone grinding. This article will elaborate on this issue from four aspects: the operation process, postoperative nursing, postoperative response and expert opinions.

Operation process

Bone grinding is to remove part of the bones of the face or skull through surgery to change the face shape or improve the appearance. Before surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed facial analysis and discuss the surgical objectives and expected results with the patient. General anesthesia is generally used during the operation. The doctor will make incision on the face or skull, and use professional tools to grind and trim the bones. The operation time is usually longer, depending on the specific situation of the patient and the difficulty of the operation.

Postoperative care

Bone grinding is a complicated operation, and postoperative nursing is very important. After the operation, the patient will be sent to the recovery room for observation to ensure stable physical condition. The doctor will give the patient corresponding pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate the patient's discomfort. In addition, patients also need to pay attention to oral hygiene, keep the wound clean, and eat according to the doctor's advice to avoid chewing excessively or eating overheated food, so as to reduce the irritation of the wound.

About a week after the operation, the patient needs to go back to the hospital to remove the suture on the wound. The doctor will further check the patient's recovery and give further guidance and suggestions.

Postoperative reaction

Swelling and congestion after surgery are inevitable, which is caused by the manipulation of bones during surgery. The degree of swelling and congestion varies from individual to individual. Generally speaking, the peak period of swelling and congestion is from the third day to the seventh day after surgery, and then gradually reduces, and generally subsides in about two weeks. In addition to swelling and congestion, patients may also have facial numbness, difficulty opening mouth, swollen gums and other conditions, which are normal phenomena. These problems will usually gradually alleviate as the recovery progresses.

In order to alleviate swelling and congestion, patients need to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time after surgery, and follow the doctor's advice for recovery training and facial massage, which helps to promote blood circulation and accelerate the regression of swelling and congestion.

expert opinion

Experts believe that swelling and congestion after bone grinding are normal phenomena and part of the recovery process after surgery. Over time, swelling and congestion will gradually reduce. Patients should rest more, avoid strenuous exercise or fatigue, pay attention to psychological adjustment, and maintain a good attitude, which is very important for postoperative recovery.

To sum up, it is normal whether there will be swelling and congestion after the bone grinding operation, which is caused by the trauma during the operation. Before and after the operation, patients should fully understand the risks of the operation and the importance of postoperative care, and strictly follow the doctor's guidance for recovery and care, so as to achieve better results and faster recovery.
