The mandibular angle grinding surgery removes the prominent part of the mandibular angle (commonly known as the "jaw bone"), restores the normal shape of the mandibular angle, and turns the face into a beautiful oval or oval face. Zygomatic bone grinding is to reduce and lower the hypertrophic cheekbones to beautify the facial lines.
The suitable candidates are those whose facial jaw angle is obviously enlarged and everted, which are obvious "square face" or "trapezoidal face"; Unilateral or bilateral mandibular angles protrude, and both sides are asymmetric; The facial contour with uncoordinated proportion of upper and lower width, and the distance between two mandibular angles close to or greater than the width between two zygomatic processes are all candidates for this plastic surgery. Of course, if you have considered surgery, you must also check your body and exclude the factors that cannot be operated, such as hypertension, diabetes, and abnormal blood coagulation before further consideration.
Preoperative preparation
Healthy, without organic diseases of important organs, such as heart disease, hepatitis, nephritis, pneumonia, etc. No oral infection source, such as caries, periodontitis, oral ulcer, etc. Women should avoid menstruation when doing zygomatic grinding. Stop smoking before grinding cheekbones. Aspirin, contraceptives and some anti-inflammatory drugs can cause increased bleeding, so these drugs should be stopped for some time before zygomatic bone grinding surgery. Routine laboratory tests of blood and urine, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram and other routine health examinations should also be performed before zygomatic bone grinding operation. Routine frontal and lateral photos of the face are taken for comparison and efficacy evaluation after zygomatic bone grinding operation. 3D skull CT can be done if conditions permit. Take X-ray films of maxilla to understand the development of maxillary sinus. In individual cases, facial models should be taken to accurately measure the amount of bone that needs to be removed from cheekbones. Rinse mouth with compound borax solution 3 days before operation.
Anesthesia selection
Most facial bone grinding operations adopt local anesthesia combined with calming agent to make you drowsy. You will be in an extremely relaxed state, and your face will not feel pain. At this time, you will feel some sense of address, and occasionally feel uncomfortable. But most of us choose general anesthesia. Our anesthesiologist is an experienced anesthesiologist, who will be with you throughout the whole process to protect your pain free and safety.
Operating environment
When choosing a hospital, facial bone grinding can be performed in a formal medical institution with a comfortable ward environment and a more formal plastic surgery center hospital. Operation process
Make an incision in the mouth, use a high-speed bone grinder to smooth and shrink the facial bone protruding from the outside, and then suture the incision. The whole operation takes about 1~2 hours under normal conditions. Postoperative attention
If an intraoral incision is used for zygomatic grinding, in order to prevent postoperative infection, the patient fasted within two days after zygomatic grinding, and mainly relied on infusion to maintain physiological needs. Liquid food, such as milk, juice, broth, etc., began 48 hours after the operation. After 72 hours, you can have half liquid food, such as yogurt, egg soup, rotten noodle soup, porridge, etc. Later, he gradually changed to a normal diet. In addition to not worrying about the discomfort during the operation, postoperative pain can also be completely avoided. Postoperative patients generally need to be hospitalized for about 7 days, and can work normally 2 weeks after surgery.
