When does masseter dehiscence appears

[Astri78]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum, and I'd like to thank you in advance for the welcome!

I'm new to the world of looksmaxing and am discovering this forum with great interest!

I'm planning to get mandibular angle implants in two weeks. For your information, the implants are custom-made titanium. One is 3mm wide and 6mm vertical, the other is 1mm wide and 10mm vertical.

I'm obviously worried about the risk of masseter muscle dehiscence. I haven't been able to understand, after reading various websites and forum threads, when this risk is highest in time.

I do weight training and would like to be able to resume my workouts with peace of mind after a few weeks. Some websites state that the risk only exists during the operation (and that dehiscence "appears" when the swelling disapears): https://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.co...cle dehiscence is,later even if trauma occurs.

Is it possible for dehiscence to occur later, if I chew or yawn too hard a month or three months later, for example? In short, to minimize the risk of dehiscence, is it necessary to be very careful in the weeks/months following the operation, or is the risk primarily during the operation itself? (even if it only appears once the swelling has gone down)

Thank you in advance!

I mean you should prob be careful snd dont do uneccary things. But you most likely will yawn and stuff in your sleep so its kinda inevitable and it shouldnt depend on that

Thank you for your answer! So basically, you confirm that the high risk is during the operation itself, and that I can come back to the gym 2 or 3 weeks later without any further risk of dehiscience if im carefull (keep the mouth "relax" and low weights)
The surgeon told me that the only dehiscence he ever got was 3 years after the operation, I wonder how it could happen...

just for additional information, I got botox injected in the masseter yesterday for the relaxing effect, two weeks before the surgery

I mean yea sounds weird that it came so long after. But yea you can gym but dont do it laying down, only sitting and standing

Yes thank you so much for this previous advice!
Definitly I will stop the benchpress for 5/6 month and just use sitting machine instead.
I tried and definitely the pressure in the head is much lower than the bench
