Bone cutting is a very popular plastic surgery method, but this method is not recommended because it is more harmful to the body and can easily leave sequelae. Improper care is more likely to cause lesions, which will be extremely harmful to health. So what are the sequelae of bone cutting? Let’s learn more about it below.

1. Infection

After bone cutting, a large wound will be left. If you are not careful, wound infection may easily occur. Especially if there is hematoma after bone removal, infection is more likely to occur.

2. Nerve injury

Nerves may be involved in the bone cutting process, mainly the mental nerve and inferior alveolar nerve. Most of them are traction injuries, usually slight injuries. Numbness can be recovered in about 1 month. If more severe numbness occurs, it is not appropriate to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

3. Interdental obstruction

After bone cutting, because part of the masseter muscle is removed, the interdental movement may not be effective and movement may be blocked. This situation usually occurs after mandibular angle bone removal and will gradually improve after about a week.

4. Bilateral asymmetry

Bilateral asymmetry may occur after bone removal. This situation is mostly due to the inexperience of the surgeon performing the surgery or improper postoperative care, which leads to asymmetry in the size of the cheeks on both sides after bone removal, which greatly affects the appearance.

5. Serious death may occur

During the bone cutting operation, if the supporting facilities are not good or the anesthesia technique is not up to standard, it may cause serious sequelae. The most serious case is the death of the operator.

6. Harm of bone cutting

1. Facial nerve injury: The sequelae of temporary facial nerve paralysis are caused by normal pulling during bone cutting and face slimming surgery, or caused by wound swelling.

2. The zygomatic bone moves downward after being cut without being fixed, resulting in imbalance of proportions: After bone reduction and face-lifting, titanium plates are generally used to fix the cheekbones, which is more reliable. However, some doctors do not perform fixation because they are concerned about the patient's rejection of foreign bodies after bone reduction and face reduction surgery. There will be sequelae of downward movement, but this is not 100%. However, titanium plate fixation can 100% guarantee that it will not move downward.

3. The bone-cutting and face-lifting prosthesis "breaks out" from the skin, causing skin ulceration and exposure of the prosthesis: The occurrence of this complication usually has a precursor, that is, local swelling, and the appearance of the prosthesis. Sequelae of infection.

4. Dullness of sensation on the cheeks or around the mouth: A small number of beauty seekers will experience this sequelae, which is caused by swelling of the wound after surgery and compression of the facial sensory nerves. Patients seeking beauty should avoid overheated food after surgery to prevent accidental burns.
