Service Information
Surgical Procedure
The
incisions are made either in the mouth or under the chin. The surgeon
sculpts the bone to a more pleasing size. For orthognathic surgery,
the surgeon will make an incision inside the mouth and reposition
the facial bones. The procedure, depending on the extent of the work,
takes from less than an hour to approximately three hours.
Duration of Operation
30
minutes to 3 hours.
Risks and Complications
The
main risks are swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, scarring and
numbness, or change in sensation.
After Care
After
surgery, the surgeon usually applies a dressing that will remain in
place for two to three days. You will experience some tenderness.
Post-operative discomfort can be controlled with prescribed medications.
Chewing will probably be limited immediately after chin surgery, and
a liquid and soft food diet may be required for a few days after surgery.
Most patients feel a stretched, tight sensation after the surgery,
but this usually subsides in a week.
Recovery
After
approximately six weeks, most swelling will be gone, and you can enjoy
the results of your procedure. Rigorous activity may be prohibited
for the first few weeks after surgery. Normal activity can be resumed
after approximately ten days.
Results
A
classically-shaped face contoured to maximize prevalent norms of attractiveness
and beauty.
Hospital Admission
One
night admission to hospital.
Anesthetic
General

Pre Operative Care

you have (to foods, drugs, environmental elements)
-

Post Operative Care
Your
plastic surgeon will provide you with instructions about post-operative
care. There will be dietary restrictions as well as limitations to
your activities. However, you should be aware that your ability to
