How and Where is Maxillofacial Surgery Performed?
Maxillofacial surgery includes surgeries that require more complicated work and have technical features compared to many branches of medicine. For this reason, it is recommended that the treatments that require operation in the jaw and mouth area should be performed by jaw surgeons who are well trained in their field and stand out with their experience. It is important in terms of the results to be obtained by experienced physicians because it is meticulously planned and requires working with more than one equipment and instrument in the narrow space in the mouth. Surgical interventions to be performed to eliminate the problems in the mouth and jaw area should be performed in a full-fledged hospital environment, the equipment that should be used to prevent possible complications should be all and an experienced anesthesiologist should take part in the operation.
Although it is unlikely, it is very important that the general surgeon, cardiologist and internal medicine specialist who can intervene in the patient in case of a possible emergency during the operation are also in the hospital in order to eliminate the problems that will occur immediately.

As in the treatment of all other diseases, the risks of jaw surgery are minimal, but they exist. Most of these risks are minimized provided that they are made by a specialist physician in the field and it is possible for the patient to complete the treatment without any problems. Nausea, dizziness, weakness, vomiting, swelling and bruising in the operation area, which are usual in all other surgeries, can be experienced after jaw surgery.
In addition, small-scale bleeding and pain after surgery are among the complaints reported by patients. However, if surgical treatment is performed with the right methods and by specialist physicians, all these problems are corrected in a short time such as 1-2 days.
