The mandible is a bone that determines the width of the human face. The current medical conditions can change the width of the mandible to achieve the goal of face reduction. Mandibular osteotomy has certain risks. For example, how to deal with the sequelae of mandibular osteotomy and how to maintain the long-term effect of mandibular osteotomy are worthy of our deep consideration. Now we mainly introduce the treatment of the sequelae of mandibular osteotomy.

Sequela of operation:

1. It's difficult to open your mouth. This kind of sequela usually occurs because the attending physician accidentally excises the facial masseter muscle during mandibular angle plastic surgery, which is a very serious surgical complication, but this phenomenon generally disappears about a week after the surgery. After the surgery, you should avoid opening your mouth, laughing and other movements to avoid aggravating the condition.

2. Hematoma. This is caused by the doctor's carelessness in injuring large blood vessels during the operation, or by the poor binding force after the operation. If this phenomenon occurs, it can be re bound.

3. Asymmetry. If the attending physician does not measure the mandibular angle accurately before surgery, it may lead to bilateral asymmetry after surgery. If the asymmetry is not very serious, it can be improved by chewing on the small side when eating.

4. Nerve injury. If doctors are inexperienced in surgery or do not know much about the direction of nerves and blood vessels in the human body, they are likely to damage the blood vessels, nerves and other tissues at the operation site during surgery.

The sequelae of mandibular osteotomy are not inevitable. It is found from countless cases in the country that only a few patients show sequelae after mandibular osteotomy, and most patients have good surgical results. Therefore, patients need not worry too much about the sequelae of mandibular surgery, As long as you do your own postoperative care and maintenance, there will be no major problems.
