Recently, a little sister said that she had undergone mandibular angle grinding surgery, and now she regretted it. When she asked her why, she knew that her face was still swollen three months after the operation, so she wondered if there was any way to quickly eliminate her facial swelling.

Today, let's talk about the method of rapid detumescence after facial bone resection.

Keep a good attitude

The mandibular angle grinding operation is a large-scale operation. Compared with other primary and secondary plastic surgery (blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty), the recovery period is longer, usually around half a month, but it takes about 3-6 months to fully recover.

Therefore, if your face is still swollen 3 months after the operation, it is normal and needs time to repair slowly. After all, it will hurt muscles and bones for 100 days.

2. Pay attention to diet and oral hygiene

Because the operation is done in the mouth, we must pay attention to eating light food after the operation, not spicy and irritating food.

For example, in the early stage after surgery, you can eat some liquid food and your mouth can't grow too big. After a month, you can eat some soft food normally. Do not eat too hard, or it is not conducive to the recovery of the mandible.

In addition, pay attention to oral hygiene to avoid bacterial infection caused by food residues.

Wearing headgear is very important

After the mandibular angle grinding operation, correctly wear the headgear every day for 3 months with moderate strength.

If the head covering affects the local blood circulation, it will lead to facial ischemia and swelling, and even local tissue ischemia and necrosis.

Too loose is not conducive to the pressure fixation of the wound, which is easy to lead to skin droop, swelling and slow elimination of side effects.

Therefore, it is very important to wear headgear after bone grinding surgery. The specific wearing method should follow the doctor's advice, and the wearing time varies according to the location and situation.

4. Normal work and rest

Just like sleeping late at ordinary times, some people sleep late and their face will become swollen the next day, so keeping enough rest after mandibular angle osteotomy is conducive to rapid swelling reduction and recovery.

However, if the swelling is obvious 3 months after the mandibular angle osteotomy, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to reduce the swelling under the guidance of a doctor.
