Dr. Li Fengyong
Jaw angle surgery first requires local anesthesia of the jaw area, followed by an incision at the jaw angle to remove excess bone tissue. The procedure is completed with suturing, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing jawline. Possible complications during surgery include local bleeding, hematoma, and skin bruising. If major blood vessels are damaged, hemorrhagic shock may occur.
