What to expect after a maxillo facial surgery?

Depends: Maxillofacial surgery typically involves bone cuts (osteotomies) and soft tissue dissections. If there is bone grafting or soft tissue grafting this typically involves a donor site (hip, skull, rib, thigh). You expect can expect swelling that will mostly resolve by 2 weeks. If osteotomies are performed titanium plates and screws are used to fixate the segments.

Surgery: Pain, swelling, discomfort, slight oozing.
