Main facial cosmetic surgery procedures

Facial beauty is a relatively common project. Some surgeries are performed to improve some facial imperfections. There are many types of surgeries in this area. The more common ones are zygomatic bone correction surgery, masseter muscle resection, or local liposuction, etc. Through such surgeries, the face can be made more refined. Of course, when undergoing facial beauty surgery, you must understand some precautions and must go to a regular plastic surgery institution.

Corrective osteotomy surgery

For those whose lower face is too wide (square face, T-shaped face) due to enlarged and everted mandibular angle, and whose facial contour lines are too straight and hard, moderately cutting or grinding the bones in these particularly protruding parts can make the facial lines softer and smoother, adding a charming feminine touch.

Osteotomy correction surgery basically targets problems with facial bones such as the mandibular angle and zygomatic bone. From the perspective of the intraoral approach, the biggest advantage of corrective osteotomy surgery is that it does not leave any surgical traces. The entire corrective osteotomy surgery takes about 2 hours, and the postoperative recovery period requires 7-10 days of rest.

Usually, buccal fat pad removal and masseter muscle removal are both performed through the oral opening. A 2.5 cm long incision is made in the mucosa opposite the first and second molars, and the cheek is exposed about 1 cm below the opening of the parotid duct. A vascular forceps is used to perform blunt separation toward the ear base. At this time, the buccal fat pad is easy to protrude toward the incision. The capsule is opened and pressure is applied under the zygomatic arch outside the oral cavity with the fingers.

The cheek fat will automatically fall out through the incision and then be clamped. Only the prolapsed fat will be removed and electrocoagulated. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the oral mucosa. The mucosal incision does not need to be sutured, but can be sutured with catgut. Especially for those with baby faces, it can help them lose weight and become more delicate. Buccal fat pad resection has a quick recovery and basically does not affect normal work and life.

Facial liposuction mainly targets soft tissue. You can also choose subcutaneous fat removal. While extracting fat, it can also tighten the skin muscles due to the stimulation of subcutaneous tissue. Subcutaneous fat removal is most effective on the cheeks and neck. Normally, there is less subcutaneous fat on the face. During surgery, the subcutaneous fat on the face is separated from the skin, and then the fat is sucked out through ultrasound. The operation directly targets superficial facial structures, such as nerves.

Therefore, these structures must be protected and not damaged. Ultimately achieve the effect of face slimming and make the facial contour clear. According to experts from Lido Plastic Surgery Hospital, this method is also a commonly chosen surgical method in facial plastic surgery.
