How to perform mandibular cosmetic surgery?

The mandible contains the chin of people, so the mandible plays a fundamental role in people's image. Most people's mandibles are clearly defined, which makes them look more stylish. Therefore, for people whose mandibles are too round or wide, it is necessary to perform plastic surgery on them. Let's take a look at how to perform mandible plastic surgery.

The mandibular hypertrophy is removed from the mouth. Generally, general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is used. Except for the last molar in the mouth, the mucosa is incised to the periosteum in the mandibular area. After separation within an appropriate range and full exposure, an oscillating saw is used to cut off an appropriate part of the mandibular bone, grind it flat to stop bleeding, restore the periosteum and suture it, and then suture the mucosa.

Advantages: No surgical traces are left.

Disadvantages: The difficulty of the operation is greatly increased. At the same time, the risk of the operation is also increased, and the postoperative recovery period is relatively long. Postoperative care The area around the oral cavity is prone to infection and the cost of surgery is high.

Under local anesthesia, make an incision of 2-5 cm at a more hidden position at the lower edge of the mandible.

Make a long skin incision, then expose the masseter muscle and partially cut off the masticatory muscle. If there is mandibular bone hypertrophy, an appropriate part of the mandibular bone needs to be cut off in an arc shape, then smoothed with a bone file, and the periosteum, muscle, subcutaneous tissue and skin are sutured layer by layer.

Advantages: The operation is simple, the exposure is sufficient, the osteotomy is precise, the recovery is quick, and the cost is low.

Disadvantages: Surgical scars are left on the face.
