As with any surgical intervention, Oral Maxillofacial Surgery carries inherent risks, including:

  • Excessive Bleeding

  • Injuries such as bruising or swelling
  • Difficulty in mouth opening

  • Retained tooth fragment post-extraction
  • Numbness

However, individual healing rates and the complexity of the surgery play a crucial role in the duration of recovery after Maxillofacial Surgery, which can range from a few weeks to several months. Initially, patients may experience discomfort, bruising, and swelling, but these symptoms should gradually go away over time. Adhering closely to post-operative instructions can help facilitate a quicker and smoother recovery.

Individualised post-operative instructions are provided by our specialists post-surgery based on the procedure performed, However, general instructions include:

  • Placing the gauze at the surgical site for 30 minutes, and disposing of and replacing them if necessary
  • Neither rinsing the mouth vigorously nor touching the wounded area
  • Taking pain medication promptly when discomfort arises
  • Maintaining a soft diet initially, and gradually adding solid foods as the pain subsides
  • Refraining from activities on the day of the procedure, and resuming them when the patient is ready
  • Applying ice packs for the initial 24 hours, and massaging or using moist heat after a certain period post-surgery as instructed by our specialist.

You should seek prompt medical attention if the patient has:

  • High-temperature fever or chills
  • Unusual oedema or pain that does not resolve over time
  • A persistently unpleasant, metallic, or salty taste on the tongue
  • Excessive Bleeding or pus discharge that does not clot
