One of the aesthetically acceptable facial features is the V-shaped lines connecting the jaw tip and the outermost portions of the two cheekbone. The ratio between these two parts is very important for aesthetic appearance.
What is jaw surgery?
Maxillofacial surgery is an operation performed to provide a younger appearance, to provide proportion and to treat congenital jaw structure disorder.
In aesthetic surgery, ideal face measurements are calculated by taking measurements from different parts of the face. Some people may have deficiencies in certain areas and surpluses in certain areas.
These areas are usually jaw or cheekbones. If there is a deficiency in these areas, it is completed by supporting with prostheses. If there is excess, it is removed by filing.
Where is the cheekbone?
They are the anatomical regions between the mouth and the forehead region, which start from just below the lower eyelids on both sides of the nose and extend to the ears.
What is it after Jaw Surgery?
After the jaw surgery, there will be a slight swelling in the lower jaw area. This swelling may show up to about 30% larger than the prosthesis placed in the first month. It may take months to see the actual result.
There may be slight pain in the jaw movements during the first days of the procedure. But you can usually return to normal life in a few days, after a few weeks you can start sports.
Your intracranial stitches will melt spontaneously over time. You will have to keep your mouth very clean and make mouthwash after surgery.
