Progress After Facial Contouring Surgery 1 - Zygoma Reduction Surgery and Square Jaw Surgery

The contour of the face is determined in a complex way according to the conditions of the facial bones that form the basic framework and the soft tissues covering them (muscle, fat, skin).

Plastic surgery methods for changing the contour of the face can include facial bone contouring surgery, which fundamentally changes the shape of the facial bones, and several simple procedures that change the conditions of the soft tissues.

Facial bone contouring surgery to change the contour of the facial bones can include the following procedures.

1. Square jaw surgery or V-line square jaw surgery, genioplasty, long jaw reduction surgery, prognathism surgery to change the contour of the lower face

2. Zygoma reduction surgery and temporal reduction surgery to reduce the width of the face

After the above surgeries, the changes in facial shape over time may vary greatly from person to person, but generally the following course is seen.

The following are progress photos of a person who underwent square jaw surgery and zygoma reduction surgery together at our clinic 3 months ago (April 10, 2013).

Before surgery, front view

Two weeks after surgery - Bruising may occasionally occur after surgery, and bruises that appear after surgery generally disappear cleanly after about 3 weeks.

One month after surgery - The effect of a narrower face becomes visible to some extent, and the contour of the lower jawline also gradually changes.

Two months after surgery

Three months after surgery - Around 3 to 6 months after surgery is the period when the postoperative contour changes begin to settle in more fully.

This shows the change in appearance before surgery and 3 months after surgery.
