Introduction
The facial shape can be altered through osteotomy surgery for a lower jaw that is偏low. Specific steps of mandibular osteotomy include preoperative preparation, anesthesia and disinfection, making internal incisions, removing part of the mandible, and suturing and dressing. After treatment, careful wound care is required, and a liquid diet is recommended during the first week after surgery. As the procedure involves risks, it is advisable to undergo the surgery at a professional hospital.
Mandibular reduction surgery can instantly make the face slimmer and more attractive. The procedure involves four main steps: anesthesia, surgery, hemostasis, and compression dressing. The specific process is as follows:
1. Preoperative preparation: Before the surgery, the surgeon will discuss the patient’s expectations in detail and design a personalized surgical plan;
2. Anesthesia and disinfection: The patient lies in a supine position while the doctor administers either local anesthesia or general inhalation anesthesia. After anesthesia, nursing staff proceed with preparation;
3. Incision: An incision is made inside the mouth near the angle of the jaw;
4. Mandibular bone resection: The mandible is cut horizontally using a surgical saw or chisel. The severed portion is then moved forward and fixed in place with wires or small titanium plates;
5. Suturing: The wound is sutured closed and then compressed externally with dressings.
