Area of Science:

Maxillofacial Surgery
Plastic Surgery
Surgical Complications

Background:

Post-operative swelling is common in the maxillofacial region, especially the cheek, due to abundant soft tissue and lack of anatomical barriers.
Conventional treatment using external pressure dressings and steroids is often insufficient to manage this swelling effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel technique for managing post-operative maxillofacial swelling using an intra-oral plastic sheet pressure dressing.
To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and accessibility of this adjunctive method.

Main Methods:

A technical note describing the application of an intra-oral plastic sheet as a pressure dressing.
Integration of this technique with the conventional treatment protocol for post-operative swelling.

Main Results:

The intra-oral plastic sheet pressure dressing provides effective compression.
The method is demonstrated to be cheap, safe, and readily available in the operating room.

Conclusions:

Intra-oral plastic sheet pressure dressing is an effective and accessible adjunctive treatment for post-operative maxillofacial swelling.
This technique offers a valuable addition to the conventional management of swelling in the cheek region.
