How is facial slimming and jawbone reduction surgery performed?

A large facial contour can be improved through osteotomy to reshape the facial profile. The procedure for瘦脸削骨 surgery (facial slimming osteotomy) includes general anesthesia, making incisions and separating the muscles from the periosteum, removing a portion of the mandible, applying bone wax, hemostasis, and suturing. It is important to thoroughly rinse away any dislodged bone fragments with saline during the procedure to prevent adhesion between the bone and surrounding tissues after suturing.
