Will the bones swell after bone contouring surgery?
Disease description:
I recently underwent mandibular contouring surgery myself. I’ve heard that bone swelling may occur after this procedure, and I’m still quite concerned—will my bones actually swell after mandibular contouring?
Hello, swelling may occur under the aforementioned circumstances. In cases of severe swelling, medications that promote blood circulation and resolve stasis may be appropriately used. For significant pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be administered for analgesia. Regular follow-up examinations—including CT scans, complete blood count (CBC), and biochemical tests—are recommended. If infection develops, timely treatment with antibiotics such as cephalosporins or quinolones is appropriate. During recovery, maintain a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
