In addition to correcting the deformity and angle of the mandibular angle, mandibular angle surgery must also fully consider the impact of the surgery on the chin and the entire face, and design the surgery under the guidance of professional doctors. The doctor must first design surgical lines on the patient's face according to the patient's requirements, avoid the facial nerves, analyze the relationship between the local area and the overall facial beauty, consider the overall effect of the teeth, jaws, face, and skull, and ensure the shape and shape of the jaw bone. Both functions are taken into consideration.

Mandibular angle surgery generally adopts two types: extraoral incision and intraoral incision.

For extraoral incision, under local or general anesthesia, an incision as small as possible is made behind the patient's ear or at the angle of the mandible. The mandible is trimmed through the incision, and then a pressure bandage is applied for a week. , this kind of surgery recovers quickly and is relatively simple and easy to perform, but it will leave a small scar at the incision, which will take some time to fade.

Intraoral incision type: When the patient is under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, a relatively hidden vestibule on the side of the mouth is selected to make the surgical incision. After the mandibular modification is completed, pressure bandage is also required for one week. Compared with extraoral incision, this surgical method is more beautiful and concealed, but it also requires higher standards of equipment and medical personnel.

The surgical procedure involves a "bone milling" process. Special equipment is used to grind and even osteotomize the mandible to achieve the desired effect. This "bone milling" process cuts the mandibular angles on both sides of the face. At the same time. The doctor will try to make both jaws symmetrical to achieve results that are invisible to the naked eye.

Careful care, moisturizing and beautiful face

When you just have the surgery, the "Chinese face" caused by the mandibular expansion may not have improved much. Because there is a swelling period after surgery, the mandibular bone will form callus due to surgical trauma, the facial muscles will swell, and the callus will thicken, which "covers up" the effect of the surgery. After surgery, the facial repair process (recovery period) generally takes three days. months, and the real surgical effect of facial contour fixation will not be apparent until half a year later.

For surgeries performed through intraoral incisions, in order to prevent postoperative infection, it is best to fast within two days after the operation. Generally, physiological needs are maintained by infusion; after two days, you can eat liquid food, such as milk, juice, broth, etc. ; After 72 hours, you can eat semi-liquid food, such as yogurt, egg custard, noodle soup, etc., and then gradually resume your normal diet. Do not eat or eat as little hard food as possible within a month to avoid affecting the healing of the injured jaw.

The soft tissue swelling is most obvious 3 to 4 days after surgery, and will subside significantly thereafter. It usually takes about a month, and full recovery may take 3 to 6 months, but it does not hinder daily life.

Generally speaking, people during menstruation and those with systemic diseases cannot undergo surgery, and young women who have not yet stopped growing should not undergo this kind of surgery.
