What is Facial Cosmetic Surgery?
In our practice, facial cosmetic surgery refers to a type of orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery. It’s used to enhance and refine the lower jaw, chin, upper jaw, and/or cheeks to create a more attractive appearance. If you have a recessed chin or overly prominent front teeth that stick out (that can’t be corrected with orthodontics), then these and many other issues can be corrected with facial plastic surgery.
On top of refining someone’s problem area, changing the jawbones can add symmetry and balance to the entire face, uplifting the smile, eyes, neckline…basically everything!
How Does Facial Cosmetic Surgery Work?
It all starts with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Ji, which will focus on him asking you about your goals and showing you pictures to get a better understanding of what you want your final result to look like. He’ll also examine your mouth and take several X-rays and pictures so he can assess your oral structures and provide personalized recommendations.
After you both have agreed on a treatment plan, the procedure will happen at a follow-up appointment in our office. It may involve increasing or decreasing the size of one of your jaws, creating a more defined jawline, building up areas with bone loss, and/or replacing missing teeth with implants. All of the details will be laid out at your initial appointment so you’re guaranteed to love the outcome.
The Benefits of Facial Cosmetic Surgery
The mental boost that can come from facial cosmetic surgery can’t be understated. We’ve helped patients who have felt self-conscious their entire lives finally smile without covering their mouths. Many feel like we’ve removed the “one thing that is holding them back,” giving them the self-esteem and confidence they need to succeed at…pretty much anything, be it professional or personal.
Of course, it can’t be forgotten that facial cosmetic surgery can simultaneously fix longstanding functional issues with the teeth and jaw, removing asymmetries that can lead to accelerated tooth wear, an increased risk of breakage, difficulty chewing and speaking, and persistent pain in the face and head. The benefits go well beyond skin deep.
