How is jaw reduction performed?

Through an incision inside the mouth, the jaw angle is sawed off. This changes the sharp acute angle of the jaw to a more round one.

Does jaw surgery have complications?
The main complication is potential injury to the mandibular nerve, which runs through the lower jaw and provides sensory readings for the lower lip and chin.  If the nerve is injured, you will have numbness of the lower lip and chin.

The cost ranges from 5000 to 10000k.

How long is recovery after a tummy tuck?
Bed rest for two to three days is recommended following tummy tuck surgery. While in bed,  your leg should be elevated in order to reduce the strain on the abdominal area. A support garment for the stomach area is also worn.  Walking around after surgery is suggested to help circulation.  Surface stitches will be removed in five to seven days, and deeper sutures will come out in two to three weeks.
What is surgery like

Tummy tuck surgery may take place in a time frame of two to five hours, depending on the extent of the repair. A partial abdominoplasty, or “mini tummy tuck,” should be shorter, generally taking one to two hours to complete.

The price varies depending on the type of facelift.
A full face lift cost starts at $10,000. It is the most involved procedure. In a full face lift, the entire face and neck area is involved – sagging or loose skin folds that hang on the cheekbones, forehead, the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, the lips, neck wattles and jaw. This lax skin can result in a fleshy appearance that ages the face. A full face lift cost starts at $10,000.
A mid face lift cost begins at $5000. Here,  the emphasis is on the cheekbones and  baggy skin under the eyes. Incisions for this cosmetic face lift can be made above the ear and near the corner of the eye, as with eye lift surgery. Sutures are used to hold the elevated tissue in place.

A lower face lift costs $5000 and up.  This surgery tightens the drooping skin of the lower face and neck, making it more taut and firm. A scar will be left in front of the ear.
The cost of a Thermage face lift ranges from $1000 to $5000depending on how large an area is covered. In this procedure, there is a hand-held device which applies heat to the skin. This is said to stimulate collagen, which is essential to skin elasticity and texture.
A neck lift or cervicoplasty  tightens the droopy skin of the neck or chin, to eliminate as much wrinkling as possible. Loose or sagging neck skin is sometimes referred to as turkey wattles due to its wrinkly appearance. A neck lift can also help to eliminate a double chin or jowls, as well as excess skin folds.  The price of this procedure varies.

How long will it take me to recover?

Recovery time varies:

• full face lift in 10 days to two weeks

• patients who choose a mid face lift can expect about the same amount of recovery time

• Patients who undergo an endoscopic face lift can return to work in as little as a day or two

• thread face lift and mini face lift patients can expect about the same “weekend” recovery time.

You should expect  postoperative swelling, numbness, and skin discoloration for about two weeks. Alcohol, saunas, and steam rooms should be avoided for several months. During the face lift recovery period, extra rest is very important to promote proper healing

What happens during facelift surgery?
Excess skin and fat are trimmed away through incisions that separate the skin from the underlying tissue.
Afterwards, the head and face will be loosely bandaged to help reduce swelling and bruising. Sometimes, a patient is left with a drainage tube to ease swelling.

What happens during brow lift surgery?
When performing a  full brow lift,  the doctor will make a full incision across the top of the forehead behind the hair line, tighten muscles and excess skin, plus remove tissues  to create a smooth, youthful-looking surface.
