What are the risks after bone grinding surgery?
Shanghai Shiguang Plastic Hospital has an experienced team of bone grinding doctors who will try their best to reduce the risks and ensure the recovery effect after the operation. However, there are still some risks in bone grinding surgery. In this article, we will elaborate on the possible risks after bone grinding surgery from four aspects.
Risk of facial infection
Bone grinding surgery is a kind of surgery that requires skin incision, so facial infection is one of the possible risks after surgery. The presence of surgical incision may make bacteria easy to invade the body, leading to infection. In addition, facial swelling and pain after surgery may affect the patient's normal diet and oral hygiene habits, increasing the risk of infection. Therefore, it is necessary to pay close attention to personal hygiene after the operation, carry out oral care according to the doctor's recommendations, and return regularly after the operation to ensure wound healing.
In addition, haematoma and congestion may also occur after bone grinding surgery, which may lead to infection of patients. The hospital will provide effective anti infective drugs and treatment plans for patients according to the situation to reduce the risk of infection.
Risk of nerve injury
Bone grinding surgery involves bone repair and change, so there is a certain risk of nerve injury. Surgery may cause pressure or stretch on local nerves, resulting in temporary or permanent sensory or motor disorders. This may be manifested as facial numbness, pain, motor dysfunction, etc. Although the bone grinder will try to avoid nerve injury during the operation, the patient still needs to understand this risk and make full communication and psychological preparation before the operation.
In order to reduce the risk of nerve injury, doctors will conduct a detailed assessment of facial bone structure before surgery to ensure the safety and feasibility of surgery. The postoperative rehabilitation period is also very important. Patients need to carry out rehabilitation training according to the doctor's recommendations to promote nerve recovery.
Risk of bleeding and hematoma
Bone grinding surgery involves the cutting of bone marrow and periosteum, which may cause bleeding to a certain extent. Therefore, bleeding and hematoma are one of the possible risks after surgery. Bleeding may lead to difficult healing of the surgical incision or hematoma, affecting the achievement of bone grinding effect.
In order to reduce the risk of bleeding and hematoma, facial bone grinding surgery needs to be carried out in a strict sterile environment, and doctors will use professional hemostasis measures and techniques. Patients should follow the doctor's advice after surgery to avoid strenuous exercise and early recovery, so as to protect the surgical incision and promote healing.
Risk of unsatisfactory postoperative effect
Although the bone grinding operation can improve the facial appearance and proportion, there is still a risk of unsatisfactory postoperative results. The facial bone structure and skin elasticity of different individuals are different, and the surgical results may be affected by individual differences and preoperative expectations. Some common undesirable effects include facial asymmetry, visible surgical marks, too large or too small zygomatic angle, and too short mandibular angle.
In order to reduce the risk of unsatisfactory postoperative effect, the bone grinder will carefully evaluate the facial bone structure and skin condition of the patient before surgery, and fully communicate with the patient before surgery to ensure the achievement of the desired effect after surgery. In addition, doctors will develop personalized surgical programs according to individual characteristics to minimize the risk of unsatisfactory postoperative results.
Summary
Bone grinding surgery is a high-risk plastic surgery, which may face the risk of facial infection, nerve injury, bleeding and hematoma, as well as unsatisfactory postoperative results. However, the team of bone grinding doctors from Shanghai Shiguang Plastic Hospital is experienced in preoperative evaluation, technology and nursing during surgery, and postoperative rehabilitation counseling, and will try to reduce the risk. Before deciding to perform bone grinding surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and have detailed communication and discussion with doctors.
