Bone grinding surgery and its risks
As a cosmetic surgery, bone grinding has been widely used in Shanghai. By removing or modifying the bones of cheekbones, mandibles and other parts, the facial contour can be more three-dimensional and harmonious. However, any operation has certain risks, and bone grinding operation is no exception. The risks of surgery, infection, anesthesia and postoperative complications will be described in detail below.
Surgical risk
Bone grinding surgery is a high-risk operation that requires orthopedic experts to operate. In the operation, once the surgical instruments and bone drills are operated improperly, it may cause complications such as fracture and bone fragmentation. In addition, because the cheekbones and mandibles are closely connected with the eyes, nasal cavity and other important organs, these organs may also be damaged during the operation, leading to blurred vision, dyspnea and other serious consequences.
In order to reduce the operation risk, the bone grinding operation needs to be carried out in a regular hospital, and experienced orthopedic experts should be selected for operation. In addition, it is also a critical step to conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient before surgery to understand whether his physical condition is suitable for surgery.
Risk of infection
In bone grinding surgery, surgical instruments need to be introduced into the body through an incision for operation, so the risk of infection cannot be ignored. Surgical infection may come from untimely or incomplete cleaning of surgical instruments, or from bacterial infection when the surgical incision is not fully healed. Once infection occurs, it may cause local redness, swelling, suppuration, fever and other complications.
In order to reduce the risk of infection, the hospital will strictly disinfect and sterilize the surgical instruments before surgery, and will also use antibiotics to prevent infection for patients before and after surgery. In addition, postoperative patients need to pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the surgical incision to keep the wound healing dry and avoid infection.
Anesthesia risk
General anesthesia is usually required for bone grinding surgery, and anesthesia risk is one of the important factors in surgery. General anesthesia may cause inhibition of cardiovascular system and respiratory system, especially for older patients or patients with chronic diseases, the risk of anesthesia is greater.
In order to reduce the risk of anesthesia, the hospital will conduct a detailed anesthesia assessment on patients before surgery to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for anesthesia. In addition, there will be professional anesthesiologists and complete monitoring equipment in the operation to find and deal with anesthesia related problems in a timely manner.
Risk of postoperative complications
Some postoperative complications may occur after bone grinding surgery, such as swelling, pain, abnormal sensation, etc. These are normal physiological reactions, but may also lead to postoperative discomfort and affect the daily life of patients.
In order to deal with the risk of postoperative complications, the hospital will have a professional team responsible for postoperative care, to provide patients with appropriate drug analgesia and detumescence treatment. At the same time, patients also need to reasonably arrange rest and recovery, follow the doctor's advice, and avoid strenuous activities and overeating.
To sum up, as a cosmetic surgery, bone grinding surgery can improve facial contour, but it also has certain risks. The important measures to reduce the risk are to select a regular hospital for surgery, operate by an experienced doctor, strictly sterilize and sterilize the surgical instruments, and reasonably evaluate the anesthesia risk and postoperative nursing. Patients should fully understand various risks before the operation and closely cooperate with the doctor's care after the operation to ensure the safety and effect of the operation.
