Sequela of bone grinding surgery in Shanghai Hospital
Bone grinding is a method to change the facial bone structure through surgery, which is commonly used in cosmetic surgery. However, although hospitals in Shanghai have advanced technology and equipment, there are still some sequelae of bone grinding surgery. This article will elaborate from four aspects: occlusal problems, facial sensory abnormalities, surgical risks and poor postoperative recovery.
Occlusal problem
Bone grinding surgery may cause occlusal problems, including abnormal tooth contact, mastication difficulties and temporomandibular joint disorders. During surgery, if the doctor does not accurately assess the patient's facial structure and occlusion status, it may affect the patient's normal chewing function. In addition, bone changes after bone grinding surgery may also lead to remodeling of the gums, thereby affecting tooth alignment and occlusion.
Occlusion problems will bring a series of discomfort to patients, such as facial muscle tension, headache, mastication muscle pain, etc. For serious occlusal problems, further corrective surgery or orthodontic treatment may be required to restore normal occlusal function.
Facial paresthesia
Bone grinding surgery may cause facial sensation abnormalities, including tingling, numbness and allergy. During the operation, the peripheral nerves and blood vessels may be damaged, resulting in obstruction of sensory nerve conduction. After surgery, patients may feel tingling or numbness in some areas of the face, and in serious cases, facial muscle dysfunction may occur.
Abnormal facial sensation will have a certain impact on the life and mental state of patients. Therefore, when considering bone grinding surgery, patients should fully understand the potential risks, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors.
Surgical risk
Bone grinding surgery has certain surgical risks, including bleeding, infection, fracture and surgical failure. During the operation, although doctors will try their best to reduce the occurrence of complications, they still cannot completely eliminate the risks.
The possible complications during the operation include massive bleeding during the operation, which may require blood transfusion for hemostasis; Surgical incision infection may require further antibiotic treatment; Facial bone fracture may require further reduction or repair surgery. In addition, there may be some differences between the effect and expectation of bone grinding surgery, which may fail to meet the expectations of patients.
Poor postoperative recovery
Poor postoperative recovery may exist after bone grinding surgery, including facial swelling, scar, asymmetry and skin relaxation. Facial swelling is the most common side effect after surgery, but it usually subsides within a few weeks. Some patients may have scars, especially those with large incisions or slow healing.
The asymmetry of the face may be caused by the inconsistent changes of the bones on both sides during the operation, which may require further repair surgery to correct. At the same time, bone grinding surgery may lead to facial skin relaxation, which may require further skin pulling surgery to achieve the ideal plastic effect.
Summary
Although the bone grinding operation in Shanghai Hospital is technically advanced, there are still some sequelae. Occlusion problems, facial sensory abnormalities, surgical risks and poor postoperative recovery are common sequelae of bone grinding surgery. Therefore, before deciding to perform bone grinding surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and potential consequences of surgery, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors to ensure that they make a wise decision.
