Hello, this is Director Jo Dong-pil of AB Plastic Surgery.

I will answer the questions you have been wondering about.

Q. After facial contouring, can fixation pins remain in the face indefinitely? When can fixation pins be removed?

A. Yes, in fact, the pins used for facial contouring are completely harmless to the human body and their safety is guaranteed. Also, because they cannot be felt from the outside, there is absolutely no health problem if they remain in place.

However, if you want them removed, the fixation pins vary depending on whether the surgical area is the chin tip, the cheekbones, or another area.

Also, in the case of revision surgery, it may be different as well.

But in general cases, if it is the cheekbones or chin tip, there is actually no problem with removal within 6 months.

Before surgery, a CT scan is used to check whether bone union has been achieved properly, and if there are no major issues, removal is possible after 6 months.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to leave a comment. Thank you.
