Jaw & Face Contouring Surgery
If you are looking to bring a beautiful balance to your overall look, face contouring is a wonderful way to refine your natural silhouette. These procedures focus on the “frame” of your face—your forehead, cheekbones, jaw, and chin—to create a more harmonious profile.
Popular ways to enhance your glow include:
-
Softening the Frame: Cheekbone (Zygoma) or jaw (Mandible) reduction can create a gentler, more delicate contour.
-
Defining the Chin: Whether through shaping or a subtle implant, we can help you find your perfect chin profile.
-
Adding Youthful Volume: Fat grafting is a lovely, natural-looking way to “fill in” sunken areas like smile lines or under the eyes for a refreshed, glowing appearance.
For those looking for a total transformation, such as a V-line surgery, we’ll guide you through every step, including the longer recovery time needed for these more comprehensive results. At Glowin Medical, your journey is our priority. We’re here to match you with top-tier doctors and the best care.
How to Prepare Before Surgery
1. Managing Your Medications To keep you safe and minimize bruising, please pause any non-essential supplements or medications (like vitamins, aspirin, or birth control) at least 2 weeks before your procedure. If you’re managing conditions like diabetes, heart health, or high blood pressure, just let us know! We want to make sure your treatment plan is perfectly tailored to your health.
2. Healthy Habits for a Smooth Recovery We want you to bounce back as quickly as possible! To help your body prepare, please avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 3 days before your visit. Fueling up with fresh fruits and veggies in the days leading up to surgery is also a great way to support your healing journey.
3. Getting Ready on Surgery Day Comfort is key! We recommend wearing loose, cozy clothes (a zip-up top is perfect so you don’t have to pull anything over your head). Please leave jewelry at home and come with a “fresh face”—meaning no makeup, nail polish, or contact lenses.
4. Fasting for Your Safety To ensure your anesthesia or sedation goes smoothly, we ask that you fast (no food or water) for 4 to 6 hours before your appointment. We’ll confirm your specific fasting time during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
How to Prepare After Surgery
1. You’re Never Alone: Post-Surgery Support From the moment you wake up, our friendly helper and translator will be right by your side. We’re here to provide gentle, attentive care while you rest at the clinic. To help your body heal and reduce swelling, we’ll serve you some comforting pumpkin porridge and juice (it works wonders!). If you have any allergies or simply aren’t a fan of pumpkin, just let us know. We’ll also handle the details, like organizing your medications and aftercare package, so you can focus entirely on resting.
2. Managing Swelling with Ease It is perfectly normal for swelling to peak during the first 2–3 days—you might even notice one side is a little puffier than the other, which is completely natural! The best way to stay ahead of it? Use your Glowin ice packs as often as you can. The more you ice, the more you’ll help your body bounce back.
3. Rest & Recovery Tips To get the best possible results, please finish your full course of prescribed medication and join us for all your scheduled follow-ups. While you’re healing, try to be extra gentle with yourself—avoid rubbing your eyes and try to sleep on your back to keep your face cozy and pressure-free.
4. Protecting Your Results To keep your healing on the fast track and protect your new look, please skip smoking and alcohol for at least 4 weeks. This gives your body the clean environment it needs to achieve the beautiful results you’re looking for!
