The Effects of Kinesio Tapeing on Facial Swelling Following Bimaxillary Orthognathic Surgery

The goal of this prospective clinical trial is to evaluate the additive therapeuticefficacy of Kinesio taping combined with routine post‐surgical cryotherapy in reducingacute postoperative facial edema and pain in adult patients undergoing bimaxillaryorthognathic surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:Does the application of compression Kinesio taping significantly reduce post‐surgicalfacial edema compared to standard postoperative care alone?Does Kinesio taping provide additional pain relief and functional recovery during theearly acute postoperative phase when compared with standard compression taping?Researchers will compare patients receiving bilateral Kinesio taping alongside standardpostoperative cryotherapy to a control group receiving standard postoperative cryotherapyalongside standard compression taping to see if Kinesio taping taping provides a superioror additive effect in decreasing edema and alleviating pain.Participants will:Undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery under a standardized surgical protocol.Receive routine postoperative cold/cryotherapy application as part of baseline care.Randomly, have Kinesio tape applied immediately postoperatively using a compressiontaping approach (intervention group) or receive standard rigid compression taping(control group).Undergo standardized facial swelling and pain assessments at pre‐determined postoperativefollow‐up intervals.
