Risk and complications of bone grinding surgery

Dali Prefecture Affiliated Hospital, as a comprehensive hospital, provides a variety of plastic surgery services for patients. Bone grinding is one of the common plastic surgery, which can improve the facial contour and shape. However, any operation has certain risks and complications. This article will elaborate on the risks and complications of bone grinding surgery from infection, nerve injury, bleeding and asymmetry.

Infected

During the bone grinding operation, doctors use electric tools to grind the bones by making incisions at cheekbones or mandibles. This process increases the risk of infection. After surgery, the patient needs to pay close attention to whether the incision is red, swollen or exudates fluid and other signs of infection. If these symptoms are found, seek medical treatment immediately to prevent the spread of infection.

During bone grinding surgery, the hospital should take corresponding preventive measures, such as accurately selecting appropriate postoperative antibiotics, maintaining the sterility of surgical instruments, etc., to reduce the incidence of infection.

Nerve injury

Bone grinding surgery involves the cutting and changing of facial bones and tissues, and there is a risk of facial nerve injury in patients. During the operation, the doctor should be very careful to avoid injuring facial nerves by mistake. However, even experienced doctors cannot completely avoid this risk.

The patient may have facial numbness, paresthesia or pain and other nerve injury symptoms after surgery. If these symptoms persist or worsen, the patient should contact the hospital in time and receive further evaluation and treatment.

hemorrhage

During bone grinding operation, bleeding may occur. Although hemostasis measures have been taken during the operation, there is still a certain risk of bleeding. After surgery, patients should pay attention to whether there are epistaxis, oral bleeding and other phenomena.

If there is obvious continuous bleeding or excessive bleeding, the patient should seek medical advice immediately. The doctor will evaluate the bleeding condition and take appropriate measures to stop the bleeding.

Asymmetry

The bone grinding operation changes the facial bones in order to improve the symmetry of the face. However, the surgical results may be asymmetric. This may be caused by asymmetric operation, poor tissue healing or other factors.

If obvious facial asymmetry is found after surgery, the patient can communicate with the doctor and choose appropriate repair measures according to the doctor's suggestions.

Summary:

As a common plastic surgery in Dali Affiliated Hospital, bone grinding surgery has certain risks and complications. Infection, nerve injury, hemorrhage and asymmetry are common risks and complications. Patients should fully understand the risks of surgery before receiving surgery, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors. The hospital should take corresponding measures to minimize risks and complications. After the operation, the patient needs to closely observe his/her physical condition and seek medical advice to deal with any abnormalities in time.
