How is mandibular angle surgery performed?
Disease description:
My jawline curvature is not particularly attractive, and I would like to undergo mandibular angle surgery for cosmetic improvement. Could you please advise on the best approach for mandibular angle surgery?
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.
