Risk of bone grinding surgery
Bone grinding surgery is a cosmetic surgery that can change the contour of the face, which is accepted and selected by more and more people. However, like all operations, bone grinding surgery also has certain risks. It is important to understand these risks before undergoing bone grinding surgery for decision making. This article will elaborate on the risks of bone grinding surgery from the aspects of anesthesia risk, infection risk, bleeding risk and postoperative complications.
Anesthesia risk
General anesthesia is required for bone grinding surgery, which has certain risks to some extent. First, for some people, narcotic drugs may cause allergic reactions or other adverse reactions. Secondly, anesthesia may also lead to cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack or arrhythmia. In addition, in the process of regaining consciousness after anesthesia, very few patients may have nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Therefore, before deciding to perform the bone grinding surgery, the patient should have a detailed physical examination to ensure that he or she does not have any contraindications related to anesthesia. Doctors also need to fully understand the patient's physical condition, make the correct anesthesia plan, and reduce the anesthesia risk.
Risk of infection
Bone grinding surgery requires incision and cutting near the surgical incision, which may lead to the risk of infection. A series of disinfection measures should be taken before, during and after the operation, such as the use of sterile gloves and instruments, disinfection of the operation area, etc., to reduce the risk of infection.
However, even under the most stringent disinfection measures, infection may still occur. If infection occurs, the patient may have fever, redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms. Severe infections may require antibiotic treatment, or even reoperation to clear the infected area.
Bleeding risk
During bone grinding surgery, cutting bones may cause bleeding. Although doctors will take hemostatic measures, such as using hemostatic drugs or ligating blood vessels, there is still a certain risk of bleeding.
Mild bleeding may stop automatically without too much influence. However, if the bleeding is too much and cannot be stopped, corresponding treatment measures need to be taken, such as hemostasis surgery or blood transfusion. Severe bleeding may not only prolong the operation time, but also threaten the life safety of patients.
Postoperative complications
Some postoperative complications may occur after bone grinding surgery, such as swelling, pain, congestion, etc. In most cases, these complications are temporary and will gradually reduce or disappear over time.
However, some patients may have more serious complications, such as sensory abnormalities, nerve damage, etc. These complications may cause long-term discomfort or affect facial function. Therefore, before surgery, doctors should fully evaluate the facial bone structure of patients and inform them of possible complications.
Summary
Although bone grinding surgery is an effective method to improve facial contour and enhance aesthetic self-confidence, there are still some risks. Anesthesia risk, infection risk, bleeding risk and postoperative complications are the main risks that need to be paid attention to during bone grinding surgery. Therefore, before considering bone grinding surgery, patients should fully understand these risks, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors to make wise decisions.
