Will there be a scar on Face after TMJ surgery? How do they do?

Question

Dear all,

I am not planning for TMJ surgery. Just for the information, will there be a scar on face after TMJ surgery? How do they perform surgery?

Answer 1

There should not be a scar from TMJ surgery. There are many theraputic non-surgical treatments available to treat temporo mandibular joint disorder.

If surgery cannot be avoided, it is commonly done arthroscopically through a very small hole.
