Q. Can I still have facial contouring surgery if I have a problem with teeth or gum?
Teeth arrangements, conditions, projecting teeth, cavities, implants, prostheses, and laminates all do not affect the surgery. However, gum and gum bones must be in healthy condition. If you have problems with gum or gum bones such as gingivitis or severe cavities, it is a good idea to get treatments before the surgery.
Q. Will cheeks get saggy after malar reduction (zygoma reduction)?
Sagging of the cheeks do not and should not occur after malar reduction (zygoma reduction), and if it does, revision should be done. However, as the cheekbones get smaller, the skin over the bones possibly moves downward. In this case, it is cosmetically helpful that skin moves downward, and it is one of the medical purposes as well. Cheeks could get saggier if the opened cheekbone gaps are too big, if the skin lacks elasticity, or if you already have had sagging occurred. In this case, lifting could be done simultaneously with the surgery or after the surgery.
Q. Is square jaw surgery (mandible contouring surgery) possible if I have a low nerve canal?
Through an x-ray examination, you can find the exact location of the nerve canal. It is not possible to resect bones higher than the nerve canal, so if you have a lower nerve canal, then the amount of resection should be controlled. However, you can get the optimal result through cortical bone resection or adjusting the amount beforehand. You need to be clear about what you want to improve through surgery because the procedure may vary depending on what improvements you want to make. We suggest that you consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to find an appropriate method for you.
Q. Petit procedures seems to have the same effect with square jaw surgery (mandible contouring surgery), is it still better to have an operation instead of a petit procedures treatment?
There are diverse factors that could cause a square jaw such as bones, muscles, salivary glands, fat, soft tissue, etc. Depending on what causes a square jaw, there is an appropriate treatment such as surgery, petit procedures, liposuction, etc. However, if you have rather large facial bones, then petit procedures can not be the permanent solution. Besides, petit procedures only lasts for a certain period, so if you want a lasting effect, surgical methods are recommended.
Q. Can facial asymmetry be fundamentally improved only through two jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery)?
The human body does not have the perfect symmetry, but if the facial asymmetry is severe, two jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) might be your immediate thought. Two jaw surgery is originally a corrective operation to treat abnormalities in the original jawbone, protruding mouth and chin, false joints, etc. Improving appearance is a secondary part, so it should be considered carefully for functional improvement. In general asymmetry, cheekbone reduction or v-line surgery is performed more often to balance both sides of the face. People may have the habit of chewing only one side to cause muscle asymmetry, or they may have asymmetric development jawbone. Therefore, a precise examination is required to diagnose an individual’s asymmetric condition.
