Definition and process of bone grinding surgery
Bone grinding surgery refers to plastic surgery to remove the prominent part of cheekbone or change the shape of mandible through surgery. This kind of surgery is also widely used in Guangzhou Dental Hospital to adjust facial contour, improve facial asymmetry and other beauty needs. During the operation, doctors will remove or change the bone structure of relevant parts through incision and cutting to achieve cosmetic effect. However, bone grinding surgery is not completely without risks. The risks of bone grinding surgery will be described in detail from four aspects below.
1. Operation risk
As a kind of traumatic surgery, bone grinding surgery itself will have certain surgical risks. First, massive bleeding may occur during the operation, especially for patients with increased bleeding tendency or abnormal blood coagulation function. Secondly, because of the operation of cutting and removing bone structure during the operation, there may be problems such as sensory abnormality or motor function limitation caused by nerve injury. In addition, the surgical process may also lead to tissue infection, poor wound healing and other complications.
In addition to the risk of the operation itself, the patient's physical condition will also affect the size of the operation risk. For example, some patients suffer from basic diseases such as heart disease and hypertension, which will increase the risk of surgery.
2. Postoperative complications
The possible complications after bone grinding surgery are also the focus of patients' attention. First, infection may occur after surgery, especially if the patient does not maintain good oral hygiene or has low resistance. Secondly, there may be wound nonunion, bleeding, swelling, etc. after the operation. In addition, because the tissues and nerves around the operation site are stimulated, the patient may experience local numbness, pain and other discomfort for a period of time after the operation.
3. Beauty effect risk
The purpose of bone grinding surgery is to achieve cosmetic effects, but the facial contour changes after surgery are not always as expected by patients. First of all, there are too few or too many grinding bones and wrong parts during the operation, which may lead to facial asymmetry or disharmony. In addition, swelling and congestion may occur during the recovery period after surgery, which may temporarily affect the presentation of cosmetic effects. Finally, individual differences are also one of the factors that affect the beauty effect, and different people may have different results after surgery.
4. Psychological risk
As a kind of cosmetic surgery, bone grinding surgery may have certain pressure and risk on patients' psychology. On the one hand, some patients may feel nervous and anxious because of the uncertainty and worry before surgery. On the other hand, patients may not be satisfied with the surgical effect, or even have regrets. For these psychological problems, Guangzhou Stomatological Hospital usually provides psychological counseling and support to help patients relieve pressure and understand the changes and adjustments of surgical effects.
Summary
Bone grinding is a common cosmetic surgery in Guangzhou Dental Hospital, but it is not without risks. The risks of operation itself include operation risks and postoperative complications, including bleeding, infection, nerve injury and other problems. In addition, the cosmetic effect after surgery may not be as expected, and individual differences will also affect the presentation of the effect. Finally, the operation may bring some pressure and risk to the patients' psychology. Therefore, when considering bone grinding surgery, patients need to fully understand the risks and possible consequences of surgery, and fully communicate with doctors to make wise decisions.
