The contour surgery itself is difficult, especially after the mandibular surgery, there are some cosmetic feedback. Ten days after the surgery, the two sides of the mouth are asymmetric, and the mouth is crooked. I'm worried about what happened? Can you recover?

First, there are two reasons for mouth deviation after mandibular angle surgery:

On the one hand, the mandibular angle plastic surgery is the whole muscle and bone, so the muscle recovery and growth after the surgery is about 2-3 months in the growth process. So in the growth process, if the muscles on both sides are not well balanced, or some people tend to chew more, or express differences between the two sides, it must be worse in the recovery process, and there will be asymmetry between the two sides, This is quite common.

On the other hand, the occurrence of nerve injury is less, especially for skilled doctors.

Can I recover from mouth deviation after mandibular angle surgery?

If the mouth is crooked due to muscle problems, don't worry, it can be recovered. It is recommended to talk more in the mirror and move more. As long as the mouth can move, it means that the mouth is crooked, which is a muscle problem. Generally, the swelling will subside after a period of time. After two or three months and three or four months, the muscle balance will gradually improve.

If nerve injury is encountered, it usually refers to facial nerve injury. The facial nerve injury will affect the muscles, and the muscles will be paralyzed, so neither side will move when speaking. The two should be distinguished. A simple way to distinguish is whether you can make a grin. If you can do this action normally, but the two sides are just a little uneven and unbalanced, you can recover in most cases.

If you can't argue while you can, it must be a nerve injury. In this case, do some nerve protection treatment as soon as possible. Another method is to do an EMG test. You can see that the nerve and muscle conduction is normal. If the conduction is abnormal, the nerve must be broken. If the conduction is normal, it is just a muscle recovery problem. You don't have to worry about it. Three or four months later, Muscle balance will gradually improve.

Due to the high risk of mandibular contour surgery, it is recommended that you select a qualified and reliable hospital doctor when performing surgery.
