What sequelae will there be after Guangzhou bone grinding surgery?

Guangzhou is one of the cities with the most international atmosphere in mainland China, and also one of the hot areas for bone grinding surgery in China. Bone grinding surgery is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape of the face by cutting and reshaping the facial bone structure. However, like all operations, bone grinding may also produce some sequelae. This article will elaborate on pain, edema, infection and asymmetry.

1. Pain

Bone grinding is a relatively complicated operation, which requires cutting and remodeling of facial bones, which will cause some pain. Within a few days after surgery, the patient may experience facial pain, especially near the cutting site. Usually, the doctor will prescribe some analgesic drugs to relieve the pain, and at the same time, the patient is advised to keep full rest and avoid excessive activity.

However, pain does not always exist, and most patients will feel obvious relief about one week after surgery. If the patient has severe pain, persistent pain or other abnormal symptoms, he should seek medical advice in time to eliminate possible postoperative complications.

2. Edema

Another common sequela is edema at the surgical site. As the bone is cut and reshaped during the operation, the surrounding soft tissue will be stimulated and damaged, leading to edema. Within a few days after surgery, the patient may feel facial swelling, especially in the cut and reshaped areas. Edema may also be accompanied by congestion, resulting in purple skin.

Usually, the edema after surgery will gradually reduce within a few weeks. The doctor will advise the patient to wear a suitable tight mask to help reduce edema and accelerate recovery. In addition, cold compress and regular massage also help to reduce edema and improve blood circulation.

3. Infection

The bone grinding operation needs to enter the facial bone through the surgical incision, so there is a risk of infection. Patients should pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry within a few days after the operation to avoid pollution and infection. Doctors usually prescribe antibiotics to prevent postoperative infection.

If the patient has infection symptoms such as wound redness, swelling, exudation, fever, pain, etc. after surgery, they should seek medical advice in a timely manner. Doctors may treat patients with wounds and antibiotics to control infection and promote wound healing.

4. Asymmetry

Due to the complexity of facial bone structure, asymmetry may occur after surgery. This may be caused by the inaccuracy of the bone during the operation, or it may be caused by postoperative edema and asymmetry in the healing process.

Doctors will conduct detailed facial measurement and planning before surgery to minimize the occurrence of asymmetry. However, in some cases, asymmetry may not be completely avoided. Fortunately, most of the asymmetry will gradually reduce within weeks to months after the operation. As the edema subsides and the face heals, the facial shape will become more and more symmetrical.

summary

Bone grinding surgery is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape of the face. However, it may bring some sequelae after the surgery. Pain, edema, infection and asymmetry are common sequelae, but most of them will gradually reduce or disappear within weeks to months after surgery. Pay attention to the treatment and recovery after surgery, pay attention to maintaining the cleanness and dryness of the wound, and regularly return to see the doctor as suggested to ensure the smooth progress of the recovery.
