Disease description:

I instantly give off the impression of a chubby-faced girl. I’ve tried numerous methods to slim my face, but none have been effective. Recently, I heard about a jaw-reduction surgery for facial slimming. I’d like to ask: Is jaw-reduction surgery painful?

Hello, anesthesia is administered during bone-shaving surgery, so you will not experience pain during the procedure. However, there are two different surgical approaches for bone-shaving surgery, and each may elicit varying responses in patients. Additionally, many patients must pay close attention to postoperative care following bone-shaving surgery—specifically, the treated area must be protected from impact or trauma. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
