Case 1
This young lady always had problem with her rounded face, and what's more troubling was that when she tied her hair up exposed a very manly facial bone constructs. She wished to improve these problems by receiving upper and lower jaw osteotomy. However, it became more obvious to her after consulted with Dr. Hsieh that if she wanted to become a V-shaped beauty, there's no procedure other than V-line contouring that offered better result. She decided to take on multiple-procedures in one surgery which included cheekbone contouring, lower jaw contouring, chin V-line contouring osteotomy, and a touch-up procedure to reshape her nose. These procedures let her "Face-Off" with a new look!

Case 2
Most people, even doctors would recommend patients who have round face to take up liposuction. However, little did they know that liposuction can actually offer relatively limited changes to the patient's face shape, they probably also did not know that osteotomy is the better choice of surgery to transform the roundedness to something attractively slim for the shape of the patient's face. This young lady wanted to change the proportionally larger face and before approached Dr. Hsieh, many plastic surgeons recommended her to take up face liposuction and botox (face sliming injection). Obviously, the resulted changes of these treatments offered unsatisfactory outcomes, it was only after these treatments that she understood that osteotomy for the lower jaws combined with chin contouring and fat pad resection were what best suited her all along. This photo was taken 6 months about the surgery.

Case 3

Post-Surgery Instructions

Cold press is helpful for reducing post facial surgery edema. It can also be applied to the bandaged facial areas. Cold press should be applied to the surgery area for at least 48 hours.
The first two days of the surgery only fluid foods (juices and milk) can be consumed. Two days after the surgery semi-fluid foods (porridge and soup) can be consumed with spoon. To resume normal dietary intake will take approximately 1 – 2 weeks. Mouth wash should be used after each meal or food intake.
It is important to maintain your head on higher position after the surgery so that it reduces edema and accelerates your wound recovery.
Lower jaw osteotomy will cause varying degree of temporary numbness on the chin and lower lip. It will generally be recovered within 3 – 6 months after the surgery. Only rare occasions that this numbness will become permanent. It is normal for involuntary saliva drooling to appear few days after the surgery. This is caused by the lips and cheeks edema. Please don't panic if this happens.
It is important to keep in check with realistic expectations. It takes time to recover and there will be bruises and swollen areas after the surgery. You will recover and look beautiful in matter of weeks or months after the surgery result takes form. Please have patience and don't panic! If you have any question and concern please arrange with Dr. Hsieh for check up.
High intensity exercise should only be allowed 3 weeks after the surgery.
It is very important to follow Dr. Hsieh's instructions for taking the prescribed medicine in timely manner, constraining normal body movement and exercise accordingly, and maintaining the wounds clean at all time. Your healthy recovery depends on following these instructions.
Have a caring family member or a friend around can provide great comfort and positive support while you recover. Having someone looking after your can help manage your life obligations while provide positive psychological support that enhance your healthy recovery.
Please remember to drink water frequently. It is important to replenish your water intake as body fluids are lost during surgery. It is also important to keep away from heavy condiments and spices while keeping your meals light with easily swallowed and digested food items.
