The length of swelling after orthognathic surgery is related to the following factors:
On the one hand, the selected hospital is different from the doctor

This is easy to understand, that is, orthognathic surgery. If you go to a regular hospital to find a skilled doctor, the tissue loss will be less, which is conducive to rapid recovery after surgery and faster swelling reduction. On the contrary, if you go to an informal hospital and find a doctor with ordinary skills to perform this operation, the recovery time will be prolonged.
On the one hand, personal physique and nursing are different

For example, some people have better physique, the swelling time is naturally faster, and there is no way to change it. We can make more efforts in postoperative care. If we follow the doctor's advice and do a good job of postoperative care, we can naturally shorten the recovery time.
Why does someone do orthognathic surgery for a month or swollen face?
Although the time of facial swelling after orthognathic surgery is within half a month, the specific recovery time is different due to different conditions of each person.

If you find that your face is still swollen after one month of orthognathic surgery, you need to go to a doctor for examination. If it is normal together, you don't need to worry too much. According to the doctor's advice, you should carefully do a good job of postoperative nursing to strive for early detumescence.
