Does it hurt to shave your face? You need to be prepared.

Female friends attach great importance to the perfection of their facial shape. How can a beautiful face shape allow for a big face? Many women with big faces will choose bone shaving to slim their faces. Nowadays, bone shaving to slim their faces requires anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. The pain after the operation will also gradually ease.

1. Before bone cutting, the doctor will take photos of the patient from six angles, including the front and side. The photos will then be divided into one-centimeter-wide strips and reassembled to obtain the best beautiful plan. The doctor will then understand the detailed condition of the bones based on the X-rays to customize a face-slimming plan that causes the least damage to the bones and can best achieve the most beautiful effect.

The bone cutting operation is performed completely inside the mouth. The doctor will use extremely delicate bone fusion techniques according to the characteristics of bone growth, and gradually trim the edges and corners into graceful arcs to obtain a round oval face or a delicate melon-seed face with no scars on the surface.

2. The detailed process of bone shaving and face slimming: Under general anesthesia, an incision of about 0.5 cm is made about 0.5 cm above the second premolar on the upper side of both sides of the mouth. Bone shaving and face slimming will use a thin and long saw blade to saw off the junction of the main body of the zygomatic bone and the arch to reduce the height. Through the same incision, use saw blades of different lengths to grind the bone at different locations on the inner side of the back end of the zygomatic arch. Finally, use the thinned back end as a fulcrum to press the zygomatic arch inwards. After the bone arch and the main body are firmly fixed, grind the main body flat. A modified saw is used, so the wound is very small and the chance of damage to the facial nerve is very low, so there will be no pain.

3. The bone-cutting and face-slimming surgery is not painful, but will it hurt after the anesthetic wears off? Experts say that the pain is more obvious on the day after surgery, and gradually eases after two weeks to one month. During this process, special attention should be paid to diet: eat liquid food in the first two or three days after surgery to reduce damage to bones and chewing muscles, do not eat hard food within one month, and do not laugh. In addition, to promote recovery, do not perform facial cosmetic massage or rub the surgical area within two to three months after surgery.

It may take three months for the final effect of bone shaving and face slimming to appear, so don't expect quick results or beauty. During the postoperative wound swelling period, the soft tissue swelling is generally most obvious for 3-4 days, and the swelling completely subsides in 1-2 weeks. To help reduce swelling and reshape the body, doctors generally recommend that you wear a headgear until the swelling disappears, so please be mentally prepared to be a "helmet girl" after the operation.
