Face shape greatly affects our beauty, and masseter muscle resection is an effective operation to improve face shape. But many people will have questions, will masseter muscle resection affect our eating? According to experts from Nanjing Kangmei Plastic Surgery Hospital, masseter hypertrophy is a common facial deformity in the East. Beauty seekers can see or touch the masseter muscle with obvious hypertrophy and uplift when biting. Most cases are bilateral, and a few cases are unilateral. Patients with bilateral masseter muscle development also have common left-right asymmetry, while unilateral asymmetry is very obvious. Most patients have no obvious discomfort. A few patients have local pain when chewing or are accompanied by different degrees of mouth opening limitation. Masseter muscle resection can solve the problem of masseter muscle hypertrophy well. Everyone has different degree of masseter muscle removal, and the thickness of masseter muscle to be removed is also different. Therefore, the amount of masseter muscle resection depends on the preoperative hospital examination. However, the medial part of masseter muscle should be removed during masseter muscle resection to avoid injury to mandibular marginal branch of facial nerve. So it won't affect eating. When the masseter muscle is just removed, it may affect eating to a certain extent, but it will not affect your eating after recovery. If you still want to know, you can consult our experts online!
