Can a long face be shortened by plastic surgery?

Some women have long faces, which affects their appearance and makes them feel distressed. The so-called shoe-upper face is this type of face. If this face shape really affects women's psychology, it can also be corrected through plastic surgery. The most common one is bone cutting surgery. If you want to undergo this surgery, you must check it in time to avoid some complications.

Can a long face be shortened by plastic surgery?

There will be varying degrees of swelling during the recovery period of bone cutting surgery, but it will generally subside gradually in 3-7 days. The stitches can be removed after about a week of recovery, but it will take about 1 month for the swelling to completely subside. The masseter muscle will undergo self-reconstructive atrophy due to changes in the position of the attachment point and changes in muscle tension within 3 to 6 months, so the best effect is achieved around 6 months.

The most common problems after bone-cutting surgery are bleeding and infection. In the first three days after the surgery, you must apply ice every day and can only drink cold liquid food to avoid infection. You can only eat soft food after the wound is healed. If you want to resume your normal diet, it is best to eat liquid food, which will help the recovery of the bone-cutting surgery.

Features of a long face

The ratio of length to width of a long face is greater than 4:3, the horizontal distance of the face is shorter, and it is long from top to bottom and narrow in the middle. Accompanied by a long chin and sunken cheeks, this face shape can easily make people look lifeless, depressed and listless due to thin cheeks and insufficient facial muscles.

Generally, there are several types of long faces:

Type 1: When only the chin is long

If you have a long chin, simply shortening the chin will make it look thick and bald. V-line surgery can shorten the width and length of the chin, making it smaller and more delicate.

The second type: The face looks flat or has an underbite and is long from the side

A long jaw bone makes the face look longer. Through double jaw surgery, the jaw bone can be pushed inward, making the face shorter and more three-dimensional.

The third type: horse face or the gums can be seen when smiling

The middle part of the face is longer. Double jaw surgery is performed to shorten the length of the upper and lower jaw bones, and sometimes it is performed at the same time as gum surgery.

Fourth type: protruding mouth and long face

If the mouth is protruding and the face is too long, double jaw surgery is needed to improve the protruding mouth and long face, and shorten the length of the chin.

Type 5: Asymmetric jaw - the jaw bone is larger and wider overall

The mandible is generally larger, wider and longer. To give the impression of a giant, the length and size of the entire jaw can be reduced through jaw angle surgery or V-line surgery and double jaw surgery.
