Dr. Li Fengyong
Whether mandibular surgery is risky depends on the specific circumstances. The risks may be relatively high if the patient chooses an unprofessional hospital, inexperienced doctors, or fails to follow medical advice for postoperative care. However, if the patient selects a reputable and specialized medical facility, follows the doctor's instructions properly regarding care and diet, the risks can usually be reduced.
