Possible sequelae include the following aspects:

1, the inferior alveolar nerve is damaged, and about 90% patients will gradually improve and recover after three or four months of operation.

2, postoperative infection, all operations have the opportunity of infection.

3. Skin abrasions at the corners of the mouth. Because the surgical incision is in the mouth, all instruments must be inserted into the mouth. For the skin near the lips, especially the corners of the mouth, there is a 7~ 10% chance of causing some superficial skin abrasions, usually leaving no scars.

Matters needing attention in orthognathic surgery

The recovery period of orthognathic surgery is generally about one month, but according to everyone's actual situation, the recovery period is different. First of all, pay attention to bed rest and avoid walking, so as not to cause the drainage tube in the body to fall off. At the same time, we should pay attention to oral hygiene, and it is recommended to gargle with professional mouthwash.

The early postoperative period was dominated by liquid diet. 1-2 weeks later, it gradually changed to a semi-liquid diet such as porridge and noodles, and it can be changed to a normal diet after one month. Postoperative facial swelling is common, and hot compress can reduce edema. At the same time, it is best not to eat spicy, cold and blunt food.
