Facial Contouring Q&A - 2. Timing for Facial Contouring Surgery

2. Q&A About the Timing of Facial Contouring Surgery

Q. Hello, I recently saw Director Jung Jae-young of Jelim Plastic Surgery explain facial contouring surgery on Medi TV, and I thought that a plastic surgery clinic that appears on TV seems more trustworthy than one recommended online, so I decided to leave a post. As you can see, I am still a young middle school student in 2nd grade. Maybe because I am going through puberty, I have become much more interested in my appearance. My concern is that lately my cheekbones and jaw seem to keep growing... and I am worried. My mother naturally has a face shape with prominent cheekbones and a square jaw, so I am very worried that I might end up like that when I grow up. My nose is not low, but it still feels like an underdeveloped nose, so I am also considering nose surgery. .. To get to the point, what I want to ask is that I happened to see a post in a cafe..

ⓐ Even if you have cheekbone and jaw surgery, the bones grow back, so you have to undergo revision surgery several times? ⓑ Even after nose surgery with absolutely no side effects, the nose tends to sink again, so revision surgery is needed? Is that true? ⓒ Is it possible to do cheekbone and jaw surgery at the same time? How much pain is there after surgery .. ⓓ At what age would plastic surgery be possible? ⓔ Looking at the Before & After photos, it seems there are no surgery scars, but do scars remain?

Thank you so much for reading my post. I look forward to a good answer.^^

A. Hello,

This is Jung Jae-young of Jelim Plastic Surgery.

You are in 2nd grade of middle school, and you were interested in Medi TV^^ haha.

Of course, you are at the age when puberty is in full swing and you are very interested in your appearance, but since the shape of your face may still change a little until your growth period ends, I think it would be better to postpone your concerns about facial contouring surgery a bit longer. - Please don't be too disappointed^^

Let me answer your questions.

1. Human facial bones do not grow like a lizard's tail. haha

• In the case of a rare disease (fibrous dysplasia), such a thing may be seen, but in most cases the removed bone does not grow back. However, after square jaw surgery, if the chewing muscles are well developed, the angled part of the lower jaw may reappear slightly by about 3 to 5 mm, but this is a very minor bone-forming reaction that is hardly noticeable from the outside.

2. Most nose augmentation surgeries raise the nose by inserting an implant, so the idea that the nose sinks again is incorrect.

• There are occasional non-surgical methods in which fillers are injected into the nose to temporarily raise it simply, but in such cases the injected filler is mostly absorbed. In those cases, we explain this in advance.

3. Cheekbone and jawbone surgery are often performed together, and the pain after surgery does not come from the facial bones themselves.

• The pain after square jaw and cheekbone surgery comes from the area where the oral mucosa is incised and sutured to shape the bone, so it is not that severe.

4. I think it would be better to do it after the 2nd year of high school.

• Until then, please read a lot of books and study hard^^

5. Since surgery is mostly performed through the inside of the mouth, there are almost no visible scars. And in order to move the side cheekbones by the exact amount, an incision of about 2 cm is made in the sideburn area, but the scar from this area becomes so inconspicuous after about 3 months that even I, the surgeon, would have a hard time finding it.

 

I hope you have a good time, and that you continue to build a healthy mind and bright knowledge^^
