FAQ on
Face
Contouring Surgery & Two Jaw Surgery
Q1.
Recovery period is all different by
individuals, as I know.
I got surgery on eyes and nose and I
didn’t get that much swelling.
How long do I have to be off at work?
Office workers’ biggest problem would
be this one.
Firstly, swelling and bruise would be
the main problem.
Even if you hardly get swelling, you
would get much of it as face contouring is far serious surgery than on eyes or
nose.
Recovery is up to patient, not to the
doctor.
People get swelled till 3rd day post
operation, but you can decrease swelling with ice packs.
No one knows how much swelling he
would get after the surgery.
Ice packing and walking a lot would
help you get back to daily life.
Q2.
I heard that two jaw surgery is
really a big surgery.
Do office workers quit and get it?
Two jaw surgery is to relocate upper
jaw and lower jaw.
It’s about fitting the jaw bones, so
there comes limits on talking or eating.
You can get back to daily life again
averagely after 2 weeks.
Swelling and bruise are almost gone
at this time, so it’s not evident at a glance.
You can just tell people that you got
fat graft or pulled out wisdom teeth, haha.
However, you need to tolerate the discomforts if
you have to talk a lot with your work.
Q3.
I wish to do face contouring surgery,
but do I need to do both square jaw
reduction and cheekbone reduction?
Cheekbone is my main concern.
Ratio is very important on human’s
face.
If you reduce only cheekbones, square
jaw would be more visible.
In opposite, cheekbones would look
bigger if you only get square jaw reduction.
It’s recommended to make harmony on their
ratio if you got both over-grown cheekbones and square jaw.
Q4.
How long do I have to wait to open
mouth
as much as I could before the
surgery?
It takes about 1 month that bones on
surgery area would be settled and fixed on.
It means you really have to be
careful for a month.
You could start trying to open mouth
after a month, and two of fingers can be put in.
Steady exercise would be a help, but
it takes at least 6 months to open as before.
Don’t worry about eating, however!
The sort of food you could eat will be various
according to the size of open mouth.
Q5.
I wish to get face contouring
surgery,
but I am with braces.
Do I need to put out and in again
after the surgery,
or just continue?
If you got protruded mouth or uneven
teeth set, you would look annoyed or untidy.
With this dental problem,
orthodontics would help with not only with teeth set but also with smoother
face lines.
You would get a lot different images
after orthodontics.
If you plan for both face contouring
and orthodontics,
Having braces first and getting
square jaw reduction or cheekbone reduction will get you perfect V-line.
However, the bone on gum should be
indented by two jaw surgery if it is protruded.
Q6.
After how many days shall I drink?
If you enjoy drinking, it must be a
serious problem, haha.
Drinking alcohol is forbidden after
almost all of surgery or treatment.
The reason is that alcohol emits heat
after coming into our bodies that inflammation would be occurred before full
recovery because of the heat.
Don’t be fascinated by alcohols~
Q7.
When could I continue exercise
after
square jaw reduction?
It takes 1 month for bones clung to
each other both for square jaw reduction and two jaw surgery.
Walking is the best exercise for the
first month.
Running or hard exercise would make
surgery area shaken or stimulated, so have to be careful.
Swimming, yoga, cycling, fitness
work, and climbing are okay for some degree, but running exercise as jump rope
need to be kept off.
Q8.
I got chin and cheekbone reduction,
but still have so much fat on face.
I got smaller face, but not prettier
one.
Can I remove those fats?
Saggy skin is common symptom after
the face contouring or two jaw surgery.
It’s not the surgery failure, but
rather a success that it means face got much smaller.
Volume of bones are decreased because
of smaller face
and fat which covered the bones is still
there.
People don’t realize it at first
since it’s swelled, and recognize it after about 6 months without swelling.
The degree of saggy skin could be
differed by skin condition, age, or skin thickness,
but the solution is just this:
Acculift.
Acculift, so called facial
liposuction, could be a help for perfect V-line!
Q9.
How much would my face be smaller
if I
get face contouring and
protruded mouth correction together?
The answer is below on the pictures :)
