Is surgical removal of the masseter muscle dangerous?

Surgical masseter muscle removal can help you solve this problem, so let’s take a look at it together! Masseter muscle hypertrophy will definitely not work with exercise and diet, and plastic surgery is the best solution for this. A good choice. Whether masseter muscle removal surgery is dangerous depends on where you have the surgery. Since most patients need to remove the mandibular angle when removing the masseter muscle, the masseter muscle itself will atrophy to a certain extent 3-6 months after treatment, so the amount of masseter muscle removal generally does not exceed one-third of the thickness of the masseter muscle. After treatment, you generally fast for 2 days, apply antibiotics, hemostatic drugs and enough fluids for physiological needs. The reaction to surgery is obviously different among different individuals. Generally, the swelling will be most obvious 3 days after masseter muscle removal, and then the swelling will gradually subside. The obvious swelling has basically subsided about 10 days after the masseter muscle removal. Try to avoid stimulating and hard foods within one month after treatment. There will be temporary difficulty in opening your mouth after surgery. Generally, you should not practice opening your mouth intentionally.
