In recent years, the number of people receiving maxillofacial plastic surgery has increased significantly. This kind of surgery, which needs to modify the face shape and reshape it, is popularly known as "shaving", so that the square face becomes a melon seed face. This kind of operation is relatively complicated, and can be divided into such operations as zygomatic grinding, chin padding and mandible cutting.
**Type: mandibular angle plastic surgery
Oriental people usually have oval faces or melon seed faces, but many girls are born with square faces, which are more firm and not soft, and some even have obvious asymmetry between the left and right sides. Most of these deficiencies are caused by heredity and can only be completely changed through plastic surgery. The mandibular angle plastic surgery restores the normal shape of the mandibular angle by removing the prominent part of the mandibular angle (commonly known as the "jaw bone"), so that the face shape becomes a beautiful oval or melon seed face.
The second kind: zygomatic plastic surgery
In addition to the mandibular angle, face shape is closely related to the height of cheekbones. The cheekbones are too high, and the face shape is too angular and looks bad. Zygomatic plastic surgery is to reduce and lower the hypertrophic cheekbones to beautify the facial lines.
Third kind: chin plastic surgery
The chin is the third element that affects the facial contour.
The standard jaw should generally meet two points:
1、 The distance from the root of the nasal columella to the tip of the mandible is 1/3 of the length of the whole face, otherwise the face will be short.
2、 The nose tip, the lower lip projection and the mandibular projection are in a straight line, otherwise it is like a missing piece, commonly known as the "beak". These can be corrected by surgery. Chin plastic surgery is a method to correct the shortness, skew, and overemphasis of the chin, which affects the facial contour.
Precautions before operation:
1. There is no organic disease of important organs, such as heart disease, hepatitis, nephritis, pneumonia and other diseases.
2. No oral infection source, such as periodontitis, oral ulcer, etc.
3. Routine blood and urine tests, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram and other routine health examinations were performed before the operation.
Postoperative precautions:
1. Keep the mouth clean to prevent postoperative infection. After 6 hours, you can take liquid food, such as milk, juice, broth, etc. After 12 hours, you can have half liquid food, such as yogurt, egg soup, noodle soup, porridge, etc. Later, gradually transition to normal diet, but within a month should not eat too hard and spicy stimulating food.
2. After the operation, take anti-inflammatory drugs for 5 days under the guidance of the doctor, and bind the wound with elastic bandage for a week. Generally, 3 to 4 days is the time when the soft tissue swelling * is obvious, after which the soft tissue swelling will obviously subside, and by the 10th day, the facial swelling after the suture removal has basically subsided.
