Recovery period of bone grinding operation
Bone grinding surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the facial contour through surgery. It is often used to change the structure of cheekbones, mandibles and other facial bones, so as to achieve the effect of shaping a perfect facial contour. Many people are concerned about one question when considering bone grinding surgery: how long will it take to fully recover after surgery? Next, we will elaborate on the recovery period of bone grinding surgery from four aspects.
Wound healing after surgery
Bone grinding surgery is to achieve the change of facial contour by cutting the skin and cutting or reshaping the facial bone structure. Therefore, the wound healing after surgery is the most important link in the recovery period of bone grinding surgery. Generally speaking, it takes about one week for the wound healing after surgery. During this period, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice, keep the wound clean, avoid violent activities and high temperature environment, and prevent infection and complications.
Over time, the wound healing after surgery will gradually restore the normal skin color and elasticity. During this period, patients need to pay attention to diet conditioning and avoid excessive intake of salt and stimulating food to promote wound healing and recovery.
Recovery of postoperative swelling and congestion
After the bone grinding operation, the local tissue and blood vessels are damaged during the operation, which often leads to postoperative swelling and congestion. This is a normal physiological reaction, which usually reaches its peak in the 2-3 days after surgery, and then gradually decreases. The swelling and congestion of most patients will subside within 1-2 weeks after surgery, but some patients may need a longer time.
In order to speed up the recovery of postoperative swelling and congestion, patients can promote blood circulation and lymphatic detoxification through cold compress, local massage and appropriate activities. In addition, it can also cooperate with doctors to guide the use of drugs and hot packs to alleviate discomfort and promote recovery.
Recovery of facial sensation
After the bone grinding operation, some patients will have abnormal facial sensation or numbness after the operation because the operation will involve the pulling and injury of facial nerves and surrounding tissues. Generally speaking, the recovery of facial sensation takes several months or even longer.
During the recovery period, the patient needs to avoid behaviors that stimulate the face, such as wearing headphones, using hot towels, etc., so as not to affect the nerve recovery. In addition, massage, physiotherapy and other methods can effectively promote the recovery of facial nerves and accelerate the recovery of facial sensation. Patients also need regular follow-up visits after surgery, so that doctors can timely assess the recovery of facial nerves.
Time for full recovery
The recovery period of bone grinding surgery varies according to individual differences, but generally speaking, after 3-6 months, the swelling, congestion and facial sensation of the surgical site will basically return to normal. However, complete facial contour adjustment may take longer to achieve the final effect.
During the recovery period, the patient needs to closely cooperate with the doctor's guidance, and carry out the follow-up and reexamination on time, so as to find and deal with the possible problems in the recovery period in a timely manner. At the same time, reasonable diet and proper exercise are also important factors to promote recovery.
summary
Bone grinding surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the facial contour. The recovery period after surgery needs to be affected by many factors. From the healing of the surgical wound, the recovery of postoperative swelling and congestion, the recovery of facial sensation, to the time of full recovery, each patient's recovery is different. Therefore, when carrying out the bone grinding operation, the patient needs to develop a personalized rehabilitation plan according to the doctor's guidance, and carry out postoperative care in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations, so as to successfully pass the recovery period and achieve satisfactory plastic effect.
