Is grinding bones life-threatening?
If the mental nerve is pulled during operation, it will cause temporary paralysis of lip perception after operation; And once it is hurt, it may cause permanent paralysis. Injury to the sensory nerve will cause sensory paralysis, while injury to the facial nerve will involve facial muscle movement. Every operation will involve a lot of blood vessels and nerves, even if the bleeding is completely stopped, it is easy to bleed after operation.
This is possible, remember to choose a hospital carefully, and never choose a regular big hospital.
Risk of bone grinding surgery
Bone grinding surgery is risky!
Three complications should be considered in facial bone grinding:
The first is massive bleeding, which can lead to death in severe cases. Secondary diseases will damage the arteries that supply blood to the brain, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will lead to hemiplegia.
The second is nerve damage, which will lead to facial numbness, which is facial paralysis in popular terms;
The third type may cause iatrogenic fractures, and the consequence is that the mouth can't be opened and you can't eat.
Amy, please be careful!
Choose a regular hospital for bone grinding surgery!
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Health, bone grinding is a second-class operation, which must be audited by experts from the Provincial Health Department. Generally speaking, public hospitals are required to be third-class and first-class hospitals, and they can only be implemented with powerful supporting medical facilities such as anesthesiology department and resuscitation room.
Risk explanation
Risk 1. Facial numbness
When operating on the mandible, it is easy to hurt the mandibular nerve and directly dominate the perception of the lower teeth and lips. Is the chief culprit of postoperative pain. If it is pulled during the operation, it will cause temporary numbness of lip perception after operation. And once it is hurt, it may cause permanent numbness.
Risk two. Facial muscle distortion
Injury to the sensory nerve will cause sensory numbness, while injury to the facial nerve will involve facial muscle movement. For example, when doing cheekbone surgery, some nerves grow close to the periosteum. Once the doctor fails to separate the nerve from the periosteum, there will be serious consequences such as eyebrow lifting disorder and unilateral frontal muscle paralysis.
Risk 3. left-right asymmetry
During the operation, it is impossible for doctors to accurately calculate the width of the removed (polished) bone, and the face of the human body itself is not completely symmetrical. If the doctor is not skilled or negligent, the width asymmetry between the two sides will increase. Therefore, experienced doctors should not only be familiar with their facial skeletal structure, but also take X-rays (or magnetic vibrations) for operators before operation to clearly understand their unique skeletal structure.
Risk 4. Postoperative hematoma
Every operation will involve a lot of blood vessels and nerves, even if the bleeding is completely stopped, it is easy to bleed after operation. So generally speaking, when surgical suture is performed, the doctor will place a drainage tube to draw out the congestion in the wound. If the drainage tube is improperly placed, or the hemostasis is not done well, a large amount of congestion is likely to accumulate on the face after operation, resulting in hematoma.
Risk 5. dislocation of joint
No matter mandibular surgery or zygomatic surgery, you will encounter the temporal joint, which is near the temple and is the position where the chin hangs. Therefore, during the operation, the doctor should hold the surgeon's chin hard and keep the temporomandibular joint tense. If you don't pay attention, it will cause joint dislocation, which is often called "mandibular prolapse".
Little is known about bone grinding surgery
Under the condition of local anesthesia or general anesthesia, according to the osteotomy range designed by the original X-ray film, an angular mandible was sawed off and taken out to achieve the effect of small V-face.
Who are suitable for grinding bones and thin face?
It is suitable for people with square or trapezoidal face and obviously increased mandibular angle, and also suitable for people with wide bones and no obvious effect after Botox injection.
2-3 days hospitalization after bone grinding and plastic surgery, and squeezing and dressing the wound for about a week during hospitalization can effectively prevent postoperative discomfort and swelling. You can't massage your face for three months after operation. Try not to touch the surgical site, otherwise it will lead to infection!
Experience of bone grinding operation
Today is the seventh day of zygomatic+mandibular surgery, and I finally took a good bath. I went to a small hospital near my home and removed the suture that pushed my cheekbones to the front of my ears. Removing stitches doesn't hurt, and the wound doesn't hurt. Just when I was discharged from the hospital, I made two OK jumps on the wound. It hurts a lot when I tear OK, so I stick it on my sideburns and my hair, which makes me grin. The wound is very small, only three stitches, and it is a little red after stitches are taken out. Today, I took off the elastic mask and took a look. My cheekbones have really healed, and my chin has no feeling because of swelling.
Strangely, I don't know where I got a big bruise on my chin. I'll remove the suture in my mouth in a few days and then go back to ask the doctor. Let's talk about the mental journey these days, all kinds of pain and suffering in the first five days. The worst thing is that my eyes are swollen and I can't open my mouth at all. There is some swelling in the back, and the congestion slowly dissipates, but the swelling disappears too slowly. I wonder if wearing a mask all the time is not good for detumescence? The whole chin is completely numb, and it seems that I can't feel it with my hands. You can eat anything with a mouthful of stitches. There are big and small faces and big and small eyes. Looking in the mirror means that I will collapse at any time. I am afraid that I will be like this ghost in the future. I have nightmares every day, and I may suffer badly. But it is no wonder that some people have come to this state. If you do what you have to do, you must undertake the process of recovery. Fortunately, my husband has been comforting me, and I will be fine. He didn't want me to have an operation at first, but now he is more optimistic than me. I just hope I won't be disfigured. If it works, it's worth it.
