V-Line Mandibular Contouring Surgery

Overview of the surgery:

V-line mandibular contouring surgery allows for reduction of the chin to a more slender and oval shape without increasing its length. The surgery also reduces the overly strong bone flanking each side of the chin, thus transforming the more masculine U shape to a sharper and more feminine V shape.

The chin line is excised into a smooth line. The chin end can be brought together without touch of the nerve. The protruding parts in both sides of the mandible are excised.
The narrowed chin end produces the wholly oval V-line face type.

Duration of the operation:

The surgery may be performed 3-4 hours depending on the extent of the operation.

Post operative care:

You will be told to keep your head elevated and as still as possible for a couple of days after surgery to help minimize swelling. Avoid alcohol, steam baths, and saunas for several months. Above all, get plenty of rest and allow your body to spend its energy on healing.

Recovery period:

You may be able to go back to work at least 1-2 weeks after the surgery. Strenuous activities should be avoided, including heavy housework for at least 2 weeks but walking and mild stretching is fine.

Possible risk and complications:

Complications may include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon), infection, asymmetry and reactions to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's instructions before and after surgery.

Anesthesia use:

The procedure uses General Anesthesia

Hospital admission:

This procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis

Preparation before Surgery

Gets lab testing or a medical evaluation Take certain medications or adjust your current medications. Stop smoking well in advance of surgery and avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the individual's bone structure.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Mandibular Angle Augmentation

Overview of the surgery:

Mandibular Angle Augmentation

The mandibular angle is the prominence of the lower jaw in front of the lowest part of the ear. This prominence of the lower jaw frames the lower face. Just as high prominent cheek bones are associated with beauty, a corresponding and proportionately prominent mandibular angle is equally desirable.

Mandibular angle implants are typically inserted through an incision from inside the mouth next to the wisdom teeth. The implant of the size and shape that the surgeon has selected is then inserted through these incisions into a pocket created in the tissue. In rare cases, a small titanium screw is used to attach the implant and the bone. The incisions are closed with sutures that the body later absorbs.

Duration of the operation:

Operative duration vary, but generally 2-3 depending on the extent of surgery

Post operative care:

You will be told to keep your head elevated and as still as possible for a couple of days after surgery to help minimize swelling. Avoid strenuous activity, including sex and heavy housework, for at least two weeks (walking and mild stretching are fine); avoid alcohol, steam baths, and saunas for several months. Above all, get plenty of rest and allow your body to spend its energy on healing.

Recovery period:

Many patients are able to return to work within about a week after undergoing a facial implant procedure. Some other activities may need to be postponed for a longer period of time.

Possible risk and complications:

Complications from mandibular angle augmentation are infrequent and usually minor; however, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities. The outcome of surgery is never completely predictable.

Complications may include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon), infection, and reactions to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's instructions before and after surgery.

Anesthesia use:

The anesthesia usually consists of I.V. sedation or general anesthesia

Hospital admission:

This procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis

Preparation before Surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.

• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Cheek Bone Augmentation

Overview of the surgery:

Cheek Bone Augmentation is a facial surgical procedure that improves the facial structures. Normally the surgeon will make incisions inside the mouth where the cheek joins the upper gum and insert the implant through the cuts. By inserting the implants over the cheek bones they will build ‘naturally’ on your existing bone structure. There is also an alternative technique that involves inserting the implant through a cut in the lower eyelid. An advantage of inserting the implant through the mouth is that it does not usually leave a visible scar.

Duration of the operation:

The procedure takes about 1-2 hours to perform.

Post operative care:

Stay on a liquid diet until the incisions are healed. Post operative analgesics maybe prescribed, although patients report minimal pain. You may be instructed to apply cold compresses over your face for 20 minutes, every 4 hours, for the first two days after surgery. Keep your head elevated during your recovery. Sleep on your back with your head elevated at least for the first 8 days. Sleep on two pillows to keep your head elevated or use a wedge-shaped foam pillow. You Will able to read or watch television after surgery. Do not wear any facial makeup or eye makeup for the first two weeks. Avoid strenuous activity, including exercise and sex. You must avoid any activity that increases the risk of hitting.

Recovery period:

The recovery takes one to two weeks. Most people are back to work within a week or two. Do not carry or lift heavy objects for 3 weeks. Light aerobic exercise is allowed just 3 weeks following surgery. Return to normal aerobic exercise after 6 weeks.

Possible risk and complications:

Risks can include infection, blood loss, fluid collection, movement of the implant and scarring. Cheek implants may also alter the symmetry of your face.

Cheek Bone Reduction

Overview of the surgery:

Cheek bone reduction is the key procedure for those who desire feminization to make face smaller. This is performed on patients with large cheek bones. This is a popular procedure among Asian women since an oval or heart shaped faced is considered to be more pleasing and desirable.

 In zygomatic (cheek bone) reduction, both ends are cut and the intervening bone segment (zygomatic bone) is moved inward, backward and downward. So, cheek prominence is depressed and the patient can get small, shallow face and smoother, smarter impression.

The procedure is performed through an incision inside the ear in front of the ear canal, and from inside of the mouth, thus leaving no visible scars. This is then secured by stainless steel wires. The cheekbone heals very rapidly. In a week's time, it will be firm and stable.

Duration of the surgery:

This entire process approximately takes 4~5 hours.

Post operative care:

You will have to take it easy and keep your head elevated while resting and sleeping for 7-14 days after the procedure. Your face will look very swollen in the first 3 days. But, as the days go on the swelling and bruising will dissipate. Any sutures you may have will be removed 7-10 days after surgery.

Recovery period:

You may go back to work 1-2 weeks after surgery.

Possible risk and complications:

The possible risks include: bleeding and prolonged swelling, infection, asymmetry or over resection, injury to facial nerves
the facial nerve to forehead can be injured.

Anesthesia use:

The procedure usually uses General anesthesia.

Chin Reduction

Overview of the surgery:

Chin reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces the size of the chin by shaving down the bone through an incision made in the lower gums.

Chin reduction surgery begins with the surgeon making an incision inside the mouth (near the lower lip) or under the chin. Using specialized instruments, the surgeon detaches the bone at the tip of the chin and then reshapes and removes the excess bone to properly proportion the contour. The tip is then repositioned with the remaining section of chin and held together using wires and plates. The incisions are sutured to complete the procedure.

Duration of the operation:

The surgery duration is approximately 2-3 hours

Post operative care:

In cases where the incision was made inside the mouth, regularly use antiseptic mouthwash during the first week to keep the wound clean. If incision is located underneath the chin, clean the external wound twice each day after being released from hospital. Keep wound dry for 2-3 days. Liquid diet such as soups, shakes, etc. for first few days. Eat soft food for 7-10 days.

Recovery period:

Most patients are able to go back to work within a week after surgery. However your surgeon may suggest you take 1-2 weeks off work. A soft diet is recommended for about a week and strenuous activities should be avoided for up to 2 weeks. Any situation which might involve facial contact should be avoided for up to 6 weeks.

Possible risk and complications:

All surgeries have inherent risks. With chin reduction surgery, the patient may experience swelling for several weeks or months while the bone heals. Infection is a less common risk to weigh when considering chin plastic surgery. Another potential side effect to consider following chin reduction surgery is small nerve damage. If small nerve damage occurs, this can cause the patient to experience numbness in the lower lip and chin. Additionally, complications can arise from adverse reactions to anesthesia, which can affect a patient's respiratory system.

Anesthesia use:

Chin Reduction procedures are undertaken using general anesthetics.

Hospital admission:

It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Chin reduction can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite

.Preparation before Surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Sliding Genioplasty (Chin Advancement)

Overview of the surgery:

Sliding Genioplasty also called "Chin Advancement" is a plastic surgery procedure designed to change the shape of the chin to harmonize with the other facial features.

This procedure is performed from an incision inside the mouth below the lower lip. The sliding genioplasty is used in more severe cases or in cases where the chin needs to be lengthened or moved backward. The actual bony chin portion of the jaw is then cut and advanced or moved back. This segment is then secured with a tiny bone screw or wire.

Duration of the operation:

Normally 1 hour, though can take up to 3 hours if other procedures are also carried out at the same time.

Post operative care:

You will be advised to stay on a soft diet and to rinse frequently the operative site with saline solution until the first postoperative visit. You may feel some discomfort that soreness which will be controlled with pain killers.

Recovery period:

You may return to normal activities within 5-10 days and you might have to stick to a liquid or soft diet for at least a day or two.

Possible risk and complications:

Possible complications of chin advancement are over reduction, under reduction, nerve damage, necrosis, poor cosmetic outcomes, reaction or rejection of implants or bone filler, hematoma, infection, permanent change in sensation as with pain or tenderness, step down problems, gum recession, tooth root exposer, tooth loss, chin ptosis, blood clots, non union between the bone segments or screw and or plate misplacement. You should discuss all the risks with your cosmetic surgeon.

Anesthesia use:

General or local anesthesia, depending on the procedure

Hospital admission:

It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Chin advancement can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Preparation before Surgery

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty or Mentoplasty)

Overview of the surgery:

Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty or Mentoplasty) is a surgical procedure to reshape or enhance the size of the chin. It may be done either by inserting an implant or by moving or reshaping bones.

Incisions are typically made in one of two locations: either beneath the chin within a natural or crease or inside of the mouth where the gum and lower lip meet. To build up a receding chin with an implant, the surgeon will made the incision then gently stretch the tissue to create a space into which the implant is then inserted. To reduce a prominent chin, the surgeon will made the incision and then sculpt the bone to the desired shape and size.

Duration of the procedure:

Chin augmentation surgery may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

Post operative surgery:

You will feel some discomfort and soreness, which you can easily control with pain medication.

You may feel some numbness in your chin for up to 3 months and a stretching sensation around your chin for 1 week. Most of the swelling will be gone by 6 weeks, depending on the type of procedure you had.

You might have to stick to a liquid or soft diet for at least a day or two.

You'll probably have the outside bandage removed within a week of surgery. You may be asked to wear a brace while you are sleeping for 4 - 6 weeks.

You can resume light activity the day of surgery. You should be able to return to work and your usual activities within 7 - 10 days.

Recovery period

The recovery takes one to two weeks. Most people are back to work within a week or two.

Possible risk and complications:

The most common complications of chin augmentation are: bruising, movement of the implant, swelling. Other possible complications include: damage to the teeth, loss of sensation. Rare side effects include: blood clots, infection that can sometimes require removing the implant, pain that does not go away, numbness or other changes in skin sensation. You should discuss all the risks with your cosmetic surgeon.

Anesthesia use:

Local Anesthetic (while you are awake)

Hospital admission:

It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Chin augmentation can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Preparation before Surgery

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Old Fracture Nose Surgery

Overview of the surgery:

Old Fractured Nose is a break or crack in a bone in your nose, often the bone over the bridge of your nose from severe accident which can cause serious breathing problems and crooked appearance that you might probably consider rhinoplasty. This is the procedure that surgeons most often make use of in order to fix patient’s nose and restore it to its former appearance. If you are unhappy of the results after the surgery, you can go for a revision rhinoplasty, where the surgeon can rectify the work done on your nose previously to have it restored to how it was originally was.

An incision through the outer nose is rarely required, since access can be gained through the nostrils. However, the septum will be incised to begin the reshaping process. The septum is straightened through partial removal or readjustment of the affected bone and cartilage. Cartilage will be incised, shaved, or sliced to make the septum lie in the middle of the nasal vault. Sometimes the cartilage in a malformed septum is altered until it is sufficiently weakened, and then the septum is built up again with autologous cartilage from another site in the individual's body. Bone is removed rather than shaped. The goal is always to correct the deformity while supporting the nose structure. In some cases, septoplasty will be done at the same time as reshaping of the outer nose (rhinoplasty).

Duration of the surgery:

The procedure usually takes around 1 hour or depending on the extent of correction.

Post operative care:

You need to get adequate rest in order to recover. A plastic splint molded to your nose will help maintain alignment.  Your air passage maybe temporarily blocked with gauze to control the bleeding.   The frames of glasses must be avoided to rest on the bridge of the nose for three weeks.

Recovery Period:

You should avoid blowing your nose altogether for the first 10 days. If there is swelling, cold showers can help reduce it to a certain degree. During this time, you will refrain from any strenuous activities as well as sneezing.

Possible risk and complications:

Infection is rare, but if it occurs it can cause significant problems. Lacerations cause scars. External scars sometimes need surgical revision. Internal nasal scars and deformities can increase your chance of nose bleeds. Damage to nerves can result in altered, diminished, or painful sensation or poor muscle function (paralysis). Injuries may obstruct the small holes that drain your sinuses. Pressure in sinuses can result in painful headaches.

Anesthesia use:

The procedure is performed with local, IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Hospital admission:

It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Old fractured nose can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Preparation before Surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the individual's bone structure.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
