REGRESSION
All patients showed an increase in facial swelling after surgery compared to T0 (T0-T1: 3.8 ± 2 mm; T0-T2: 1.7 ± 1.3 mm). According to the primary predictor variable, at T1, PG showed a significantly lower facial swelling compared to CG (PG: 3.3 ± 2.1 mm; CG: 4.2 ± 1.7 mm; Linear regression showed a significant correlation between facial swelling and surgery time. In particular, longer surgical time was related to higher facial swelling at both T1 and T2 (
