What should I pay attention to after chin plastic's operation?
Hello, the following are the notes for short chin plastic: 1. Short chin plastic surgery usually uses local anesthesia, injecting anesthetic around the chin. Chin plastic has two basic methods. Some patients need to move the lower stool forward. This method is to make an incision in the oral cavity, cut the mandible horizontally with a saw or chisel, then move the cut mandible forward, fix it with steel wire or small steel plate, suture the wound, and then apply pressure to bandage it with dressing. Because the incision is in the mouth, there is no scar on the appearance. 2. If the chin only needs to be moderately strengthened, the doctor may suggest using artificial chin implant to strengthen the chin, and the operation opening can be in or out of the mouth. 3. If the incision is made from outside the mouth and the wound is under the chin, you can't see the wound unless you look from below. The doctor will peel off a pocket-like space between the mandible and the chin muscles through an incision, and then implant an artificial chin of appropriate size. After the incision is closed, the wound will be wrapped with dressing under pressure. 4. It is best to eat only liquid food within two days after short chin plastic operation, and the stitches can be removed within seven days after the wound. After the operation, the average patient's chin line will be improved.
