Definition and process of bone grinding surgery
Bone grinding surgery, also known as bone cutting surgery, is a common plastic surgery in Shanghai Ren'ai Hospital, which is used to change and adjust the facial bone structure to improve the facial morphology. Bone grinding surgery can be divided into zygomatic grinding, mandibular angle grinding and chin grinding. The operation is usually carried out under general anesthesia, by cutting the inner mouth or facial skin, using special tools to cut, grind or remove some bones, and then restore the integrity of the inner mouth or face.
Generally, bone grinding surgery needs to be conducted under the guidance of professional plastic surgeons and relevant medical teams to ensure safe and efficient operation. Before surgery, a comprehensive facial bone examination and preoperative evaluation are required to determine the specific plan and objectives of the surgery. The specific process of bone grinding surgery needs to be determined according to the actual situation of the patient's facial bones, and the operation time is generally about 2-3 hours.
Postoperative recovery phase I: recovery phase
After bone grinding surgery, patients generally need to be hospitalized for observation for 1-2 days to ensure the safety of the surgical area and the recovery of the wound. During the recovery period, the patient will face certain discomfort and swelling, and needs to cooperate with the doctor to clean and treat the wound. Generally, the patient can resume normal eating and language function within 2 weeks. In order to accelerate wound healing, patients need to pay attention to oral hygiene, avoid eating spicy and irritant food, and maintain good oral cleanliness.
During the recovery period, you also need to wear a specific mask or headgear to fix the wound and help stabilize the facial bones. Patients need to carry out regular facial massage and cold compress according to the doctor's advice to reduce swelling and pain.
During the recovery period, the patient needs to avoid strenuous exercise and face collision, and maintain good rest and sleep. The doctor will conduct postoperative reexamination at a specific time to evaluate the recovery and adjust the follow-up treatment plan.
Postoperative recovery stage II: gradual recovery
After the recovery period, the patient enters the stage of gradual recovery. At this time, the wound has basically healed and the swelling gradually subsided. The patient can gradually recover normal eating, language and daily life functions. At the same time, the use of masks or hoods can be gradually reduced.
In the gradual recovery stage, the patient can gradually resume some mild indoor activities and daily work, but still need to avoid strenuous exercise and fatigue. Doctors will give specific rehabilitation guidance and suggestions to help patients recover better. In addition, patients also need to continue to carry out regular reexamination and follow-up according to the doctor's requirements.
Postoperative recovery phase III: final recovery
The final recovery stage is the most important stage in the whole recovery process of bone grinding surgery. At this stage, the patient has basically recovered, the facial bones have been completely stabilized, and the wound has also been completely healed. Patients can resume normal life and work, and no longer need to wear masks or headgear.
Although in the final recovery stage, patients can see obvious improvement in appearance, the whole recovery process still needs to continue for several months to about a year. The patient needs to continue to follow the doctor's advice, conduct regular reexamination and follow-up, and take necessary facial care and maintenance measures to keep the facial effect stable and lasting.
