Preparing for orthognathic surgery is a crucial time that can stir up a wide range of emotions, particularly anxiety. At Clínica Birbe, we understand that this process can be daunting, which is why we are committed to providing you with comprehensive support that prioritises your peace of mind and safety.
What causes pre-operative anxiety in orthognathic surgery?
A recent study has identified the main factors contributing to anxiety in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery:
- Fear of the unknown: A lack of familiarity with the procedure and its outcomes causes unease.
- Uncertainty about surgical risks: Concerns about possible complications or side effects are often common.
- Need to control the situation: The perception of a loss of control during the process can intensify stress.
However, the same study also highlights key factors for counteracting these:
- Trust in the medical team: Feeling that you are in good hands with experienced professionals is essential.
- Clear and accessible information: Understanding every step of the surgical process helps to reduce uncertainty.
- Personal coping strategies and a strong support network are fundamental to improving the patient experience.
