Bone Grinding/Osteotomy Facial Plastic Surgery
Facial contour beauty is the primary condition and most significant mark of a person's physical beauty. With people's higher requirements for overall physical beauty, facial bone reconstruction has become increasingly popular. Easterners consider a small face with a pointed chin to be beautiful, and a small face shape has become the mainstream of aesthetics. Therefore, the trend of slimming the face has prevailed, and more and more people are undergoing facial bone grinding and osteotomy surgery.
Facial bone grinding/osteotomy surgery mainly includes:
1) Mandible Angle Plastic Surgery: MANDIBLE REDUCTION SCULPTURE
Mandible angle plastic surgery is currently the most common type of face-shaping surgery. The normal mandibular angle is 120°, which looks rounded without sharp edges. Mandibular angle hypertrophy includes two situations: one is when the mandibular angle is too small, presenting a "square" face. The second is when the mandible protrudes outward and thickens, making the face appear trapezoidal, which does not meet aesthetic standards.
Currently, as surgical techniques, results, and safety have improved, not only those with significantly enlarged mandibular angles who have square faces and severely affect appearance undergo mandibular angle plastic surgery, but more women with slightly enlarged mandibular angles are also enthusiastically accepting plastic surgery, becoming "Korean-style" small-face beauties.
Mandibular angle hypertrophy surgery can be divided into external approach, internal approach, and combined approach. Since the external approach leaves obvious scars, it has now been eliminated. Bone removal methods can be divided into mandibular angle arc osteotomy, outer plate splitting, and mandibular angle bone grinding. The outer plate splitting method has a better narrowing effect on the face but generally has less effect on lifting the mandibular angle. Mandibular angle bone grinding removes the outer plate, can lift the mandibular angle, causes less damage during surgery, and is safer. Mandibular angle arc osteotomy has a good effect on lifting the mandibular angle and significantly narrows the face, making it the mainstream face-shaping surgery internationally at present.
For mandibular angle osteotomy, a 6-8 cm incision is made along the anterior margin of the mandibular ramus inside the mouth, extending forward and downward to the vestibular groove in front of the second molar, reaching the periosteum. A periosteal elevator is used to completely separate the masseter muscle along with the inner periosteum from the lateral plate of the mandibular ramus. Then, the medial pterygoid muscle on the inner side of the mandibular angle is stripped using a periosteal elevator. Place the Linderf retractor behind the mandibular ramus and at the angle to fully expose the mandibular angle. Use a reciprocating saw or oscillating saw while flushing water to saw off the required bone block. Osteotomy types include vertical sagittal osteotomy, oblique osteotomy, inverted L-shaped osteotomy, and T-shaped osteotomy.
2) High Cheekbone Plastic Surgery: ZYGOMATIC REDUCTION SCULPTURE
Westerners consider high cheekbones to be beautiful, and many Western beauties have high cheekbones with distinct facial contours. Easterners also have relatively high cheekbones, but in Eastern culture, overly high cheekbones form a triangular face, making the midface too wide and prominent, giving an impression of coldness and looking gaunt and aged.
The Zhongjia Keyang Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery uses American-imported bone-grinding specialized instruments equipped with automatic protection devices and cold light source systems, allowing the surgery to be performed through a small 3 cm incision inside the mouth to grind down bones. Due to clear vision and good bone exposure with minimal bleeding, meticulous shaping can be achieved without damaging the facial nerve and facial artery. Since the excess bone is ground away, the grinding surface is very smooth, resulting in a natural postoperative face shape with no external scars. Experienced professional doctors use advanced technology, combining modern aesthetic principles with your facial features to create a star-like face that is no longer a dream.
Special Reminder
People undergoing surgery should be in good health with no organic lesions of important organs, such as no heart disease, hepatitis, nephritis, pneumonia, etc. There should be no oral infection sources: such as cavities, periodontitis, oral ulcers, etc. Women should avoid menstruation during surgery. Smoking should be stopped before surgery. Aspirin, contraceptives, and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can increase bleeding, so they should be discontinued for a period before surgery.
