Maxillofacial surgery is one of the complex surgeries that are performed for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. One of the common concerns of patients before performing this surgery is the amount of pain and discomfort after the operation. In this article, we will examine this issue and explain how to manage pain and complications after surgery.

Is jaw and face surgery painful?

Maxillofacial surgery is performed painlessly during the procedure due to the use of advanced methods and anesthetic drugs. After surgery, the patient may experience some discomfort or pain, but these can be controlled with prescribed medications.

Factors affecting postoperative pain

1. Type of surgery

The amount of pain after surgery depends on the type of operation. For example:

Smaller surgeries, such as minor jaw surgeries, usually cause less pain.
More complex surgeries, such as jaw reconstruction or correction, may be more painful.

2. Pharmaceutical management

Medicines prescribed by the doctor play an important role in reducing pain after surgery. These drugs include pain relievers, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics.

3. Post-surgery care

Strict adherence to post-surgery tips, such as using a cold compress and avoiding hard foods, can help reduce pain.

How is pain managed after surgery?

1. Painkillers

The doctor usually prescribes strong pain relievers for the first few days after the surgery.

2. Using a cold compress

A cold compress can help reduce swelling and pain in the first days after surgery.

3. Adhere to a proper diet

Consuming soft foods and liquids helps reduce pressure on the jaw and reduce pain.

4. See a doctor if needed

In case of unusual pain or other problems, it is necessary to see a doctor.

Benefits of maxillofacial surgery

Despite concerns about pain, the benefits of maxillofacial surgery often outweigh these concerns. These benefits include:

Improve jaw and face function.
Increasing the beauty and symmetry of the face.
Fix breathing or speech problems.

Maxillofacial fractures are usually caused by sudden events such as accidents, conflicts, or falls, and can cause serious problems for the patient’s facial function and appearance. Recently, a middle-aged man came to our office with a severe fracture in the cheek and jaw area due to a fight. This fracture, which involved the so-called zygomaticomaxillary complex, required emergency surgery.

Emergency visit and initial examination

The patient presented with severe pain, swelling, and asymmetry in the facial area. The clinical examination showed that the cheek area and a part of the jaw were severely damaged. For a more accurate diagnosis, radiography and 3D imaging were used, which confirmed the presence of multiple fractures in the cheek and jaw area.

The challenges of this surgery

This type of fracture required careful planning and 3D reconstruction due to the involvement of several parts of the face.

Restore facial symmetry.
Maintaining the function of the jaw and teeth.
Preventing long-term complications such as chronic pain or facial changes.

Procedures for jaw and facial fracture surgery

The surgery was performed in a sterile environment using advanced equipment.

Access to the fracture area : small and appropriate incisions were used to leave minimal scars.
Reconstruction of broken bones : the damaged bones were returned to their original position.
Fixation of fractures : Using small plates and screws, the bones are fixed in place to allow fusion.
Examining jaw and facial function : After stabilization, the coordination and function of the patient’s jaw was checked.
