Abstract

Objective: To investigate the application effect of Botulinum Toxin Type A after plastic surgery incision and its impact on patients' complication risks. Methods: 104 patients who underwent plastic surgery incision in our hospital from February 2023 to June 2025 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (n=52) and an observation group (n=52) using a random number table method. Both groups underwent plastic surgery incision, while the observation group received additional application of Botulinum Toxin Type A. The treatment effects, skin conditions, complication rates, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: After intervention, the indicators of both groups improved compared to before treatment. The observation group showed significant advantages in various indicator improvements: In terms of treatment effect, the total clinical effective rate of the observation group (94.23%) was better than that of the control group (76.92%) (χ2=6.310, P=0.000<0.001); in terms of skin condition, the observation group showed more significant improvement (P=0.000<0.001 for all); in terms of adverse reaction rate, the observation group (1.92%) was lower than the control group (15.38%) (χ2=4.379, P=0.036<0.05); in terms of patient satisfaction, the total satisfaction rate of the observation group (96.15%) was better than that of the control group (80.77%) (χ2=6.029, P=0.014<0.01). Conclusion: The application of Botulinum Toxin Type A after plastic surgery incision can improve treatment effects, skin conditions, and patient satisfaction. Although the complication rate increases slightly, the overall safety is acceptable, making it worthy of clinical promotion.
