Complications of bone grinding surgery in Shanghai Third Class A Hospital
Bone grinding is a common plastic surgery, which can change the facial contour through cutting, bone cutting and other ways to achieve cosmetic effect. In the top three hospitals in Shanghai, bone grinding surgery is highly trusted because of its high technical level and good medical conditions. However, like all operations, bone grinding surgery also has some potential complications, which need the attention of the patients and their families. Next, we will introduce the complications of bone grinding surgery in Shanghai Grade III Grade A Hospital from four aspects.
1. Postoperative infection
Postoperative infection is a common complication of bone grinding surgery. The process of skin incision, bone cutting and repair during surgery is easy to lead to the invasion of bacteria and fungi, leading to infection. Severe infection may lead to wound nonunion, increased pain, fever and other symptoms. Therefore, food hygiene and incision nursing must be paid attention to after the operation to avoid the invasion of infectious bacteria.
In addition, postoperative infection may also cause other complications, such as local redness, local abscess and even intracranial spread. Therefore, we should see a doctor in time after the operation to ensure that the infection can be treated timely and effectively.
2. Bleeding and hematoma
The process of bone grinding operation may lead to bleeding, and the bleeding may also be obvious due to the rich blood circulation of the head. Massive bleeding may lead to anemia, hypotension and other problems, even life-threatening in serious cases.
In addition, hematoma may also occur after surgery. Hematoma is the accumulation of blood in the wound tissue space caused by surgical trauma. Hematoma causes additional pressure on the surgical area, which may cause pain and tissue damage. Once hematoma is found, seek medical advice in time and decide whether to aspirate according to the doctor's advice.
3. Nerve injury
Bone grinding surgery involves the repair and cutting of face and skull, and nerve injury is one of the unavoidable risks during surgery. Nerve injury may cause facial sensory loss, dyskinesia, facial paralysis and other problems. Severe nerve injury may require further treatment, such as nerve reconstruction surgery.
In order to reduce the risk of nerve injury, doctors need to accurately assess the nerve position in the surgical area and operate carefully during the operation. After the operation, the patient needs to pay close attention to the changes of facial sensation and movement, and report abnormalities to the doctor in time.
4. Scar and asymmetry
Scars may be left after bone grinding surgery. Although doctors will try their best to hide the incision in an undetectable part and use fine suture technology, individual differences and surgical level and other factors may affect the healing of the wound. The extent and location of the scar requires full communication and understanding between doctors and patients before surgery.
In addition, facial asymmetry may occur after surgery. This may be caused by the swelling and uneven repair of facial tissue after surgery. After a period of time, the swelling will gradually subside, but if there is an obvious asymmetry problem, it needs to seek further evaluation from a doctor.
Summary
Bone grinding surgery is a common plastic surgery, but it is not completely risk-free. Postoperative infection, hemorrhage and hematoma, nerve injury, scar and asymmetry are all potential complications of bone grinding surgery. The patient should fully understand the risks and possible complications of the operation before accepting the operation, and fully communicate with the doctor. After the operation, the patient should strictly follow the doctor's instructions for nursing and recovery, and report the abnormal situation in time to avoid delay in treatment.
