Preoperative Anxiety in Orthognathic Patient

               Preoperative Anxiety in Orthognathic Patient  

Preoperative anxiety in orthognathic surgery patients is a common psychological response that can significantly impact surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery. Orthognathic surgery, which involves correcting jaw deformities, can evoke heightened anxiety due to the invasive nature of the procedure, the anticipated aesthetic changes, and concerns about postoperative pain and functional outcomes. Causes of Preoperative Anxiety in Orthognathic Patients: 1. Fear of the Unknown: Patients may worry about the surgery's complexity, risks, and the recovery process, especially if they have little knowledge or prior experience with surgical procedures. 2. Aesthetic Concerns: Many orthognathic patients undergo surgery for both functional and cosmetic reasons. The uncertainty regarding postoperative facial appearance can lead to anxiety. 3. Pain and Discomfort: Concerns about postoperative pain, swelling, and discomfort, especially given the extended recovery period associated with jaw surgery, can heighten preoperative stress. 4. Concerns: Patients may worry about their ability to eat, speak, and breathe normally after surgery, along with long-term functionality. 5.Social and Psychological Stress: Since facial changes can affect self-esteem and social identity, some patients might fear how others will perceive them post-surgery. #pencis More info: infectious.pencis.com Contact: infectious@pencis.com #PreoperativeAnxiety #OrthognathicSurgery #JawSurgery #SurgeryAnxiety #PreOpStress #MentalHealthInSurgery #OrthognathicPatient #SurgeryPreparation #FacialSurgery #AnxietySupport #PreSurgeryFears #OrthognathicRecovery #PreOpCare #OralAndMaxillofacialSurgery #PatientWellbeing #SurgeryStress #SurgicalOutcomes #PreSurgicalCounseling #AestheticSurgeryAnxiety #PostSurgeryRecovery
