Overview of bone grinding surgery
Bone grinding surgery is a kind of plastic surgery that changes the facial image by cutting bones. With the increasing pursuit of beauty, bone grinding surgery has been increasingly concerned and sought after by young people in recent years. However, bone grinding surgery is not without risks. Before surgery, patients must fully understand the relevant risks and make decisions under the guidance of the strict medical team.
Anesthesia risk
Bone grinding surgery generally requires general anesthesia, which means that patients need to remain in a coma during the operation. General anesthesia is a common method of anesthesia, but there are still some risks. Some people may be allergic to narcotic drugs, leading to allergic reactions or other adverse reactions. In addition, general anesthesia may lead to respiratory and heartbeat problems, especially for patients with heart disease or other serious chronic diseases. Therefore, when carrying out bone grinding surgery, the patient needs to carry out necessary examinations such as ECG and blood examination in advance to ensure that the body is suitable for surgery.
Risk of bleeding and infection during surgery
Bleeding may occur during the operation. Although the surgeon will take necessary measures to minimize bleeding, it cannot be completely avoided. If the patient's blood coagulation function is abnormal before surgery, excessive bleeding may occur after surgery. In addition, surgery can cause wounds, which are easily infected. Infection is a risk associated with any operation, including bone grinding. In order to reduce the risk of infection, doctors will prescribe corresponding antibiotics to patients, but patients still need to pay close attention to the wound healing after surgery. If there is any discomfort, they should seek medical advice in time.
Risk of neurological impairment
The bone grinding operation will involve around important structures such as temporomandibular joint and facial nerve, so there is a certain risk of neurological damage. The surgeon will be cautious during the operation, but can not completely avoid injury. Nerve function injury may lead to facial sensory abnormalities, facial muscle weakness and other problems. For those patients with strong facial expression muscle activity, the risk of neurological impairment is higher. Therefore, when choosing a surgeon, the patient should choose a doctor with rich experience, and fully communicate with the doctor to understand the relevant risks.
Risk of unsatisfactory surgical results
Although the purpose of bone grinding surgery is to improve the facial image, the surgical effect is not completely predictable. Everyone has different facial shapes, and the shape of facial bones varies from person to person. The surgeon can make reasonable adjustments according to the needs of patients, but it is absolutely impossible to fully meet the expectations of patients. When the surgical effect is not ideal, the patient may need to have a second surgical repair. Therefore, before deciding to perform bone grinding surgery, patients need to have a clear understanding of the uncertainty of the surgical effect.
Summary
Although bone grinding surgery can change the facial image, it is not without risks. These include the risks of anesthesia, surgical bleeding and infection, neurological damage and unsatisfactory surgical results. Therefore, patients must fully understand the relevant risks before performing bone grinding surgery, and make decisions under the guidance of the strict medical team. At the same time, the selection of experienced doctors, full communication and rational understanding of the uncertainty of the surgical effect can minimize the risk of surgery and achieve satisfactory results.
