Under normal circumstances, all surgical procedures carry certain risks. If a patient undergoes mandibular contouring surgery at an unaccredited facility or under the care of an inexperienced surgeon, surgical errors may occur, potentially leading to complications such as muscle distortion, facial asymmetry, hematoma, or numbness. Therefore, patients considering mandibular contouring surgery are strongly advised to choose a reputable medical institution and undergo the procedure performed by a highly experienced surgeon, thereby minimizing the risk of postoperative complications.
