Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are able to provide their patients with a wide range of facial cosmetic services to meet their evolving needs. Facial cosmetic surgery services can address physical imperfections resulting from birth defects, facial trauma, disease, and aging. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons have been leaders in the facial reconstruction of the soft tissue (skin, muscles, and cartilage), and osseous (bone) structures of the face. With the unique education of dentistry and medicine and with a specific focus on facial cosmetics, this extensive knowledge enables them to incorporate a patient’s desired result with the necessary balance of creating harmony between facial aesthetics and facial function.

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis with a multitude of advances in cosmetic procedures to restore a patient’s youthful appearance. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in Mysuru have the ability to carry out the entire spectrum of facial aesthetic surgery, from skin care and non-surgical enhancements to minimally invasive, as well as full surgical, rejuvenation of the face and associated structures to restore each patient’s youthful appearance and minimize the progression of the aging process. Today, people have busy and active lifestyles and they have the desire to stay looking young with minimal down time and low risk. Your Facial Aesthetic doctor in Mysore is able to offer local and/or intravenous anaesthesia services to allow many facial cosmetic procedures to be performed in an office setting with same-day surgery.

Cosmetic Surgical procedures available by Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons may include:

  • Botox, Dermal fillers, Fat transfer
  • Facial Implants (including chin implants and cheekbone implants)
  • Liposuction (of the face and neck)
  • Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery/orbital surgery)
  • Lip Enhancement

Facial Implants

If you’re considering facial surgery…

  • Facial implants in Mysuru improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features so that you feel better about the way you look.
  • There are many implants available, manufactured from a variety of materials. They may help strengthen a jawline or bring the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face.

What to expect from a facial implant

  • Facial implants surgery in Mysore can enhance your appearance and bolster your self-esteem. If you are looking for improvement, not perfection, in your appearance and are realistic in your expectations, you may find that a facial implant is the right choice for you.
  • Facial implants can bring better balance to the features of a younger patient. For instance, a teenage girl may want her nose reshaped or her chin brought forward so that these traits are better proportioned. The more mature patient may choose to have an implant placed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure. For example, during a facelift, a patient may wish to have implants placed over the cheekbones to help restore a more youthful appearance. Implants may also be selected to fill out a face that appears “sunken” or tired.

Types of Anesthesia

In some cases, facial implant surgery done at facial implant hospitals in Mysore may require only local anesthesia combined with a sedative. However, more frequently, Intravenous (IV) sedation or general anesthesia may be recommended.

Chin Implants

  • Insertion of a chin implant may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. During the cosmetic jaw correction surgery in Mysore, the proper implant size and shape will be selected to enhance your appearance and will be inserted into a pocket over the front of the jawbone. The small incision to create the pocket and insert the implant is placed inside the mouth (along the lower lip) or in the skin just under the chin area.
  • Usually, the chin is taped after surgery to minimize swelling and discomfort. Sutures in the skin will be removed in five to seven days. If an intra-oral incision is used, the sutures will dissolve.

Recovering from Chin Implant Surgery

You will experience some discomfort and swelling in the affected area for several days. It’s normal to experience some temporary difficulty with smiling and talking. Black and blue marks may be visible around the chin and neck. You will be instructed about dental hygiene, eating and any restrictions to your activities after gummy smile correction in Mysore.

Cheek Implants

  • Cheek implant surgery usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. When cheek implants are being placed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure, such as eyelid surgery, the implants may be inserted through the incisions made for that procedure at gummy smile correction hospitals in Mysuru. Otherwise, an incision will be made inside your mouth under the upper. A pocket is then formed and an implant is inserted.
  • After surgery, a dressing will be applied by gummy smile correction doctors in Mysore to minimize discomfort and swelling. The severity and duration of such side effects may vary, especially if another cosmetic procedure was performed at the same time.

Recovering from Cheek Implant Surgery

You will be provided with instructions about post-operative care. There will be dietary restrictions as well as limitations to your activities. Again, these instructions will vary, especially if another procedure was performed along with your implant surgery. However, you should be aware that your ability to move your mouth and lips may be diminished temporarily. Stitches used to close the incisions inside your mouth usually dissolve within about 10 days.

Lower Jaw Implant

Insertion of a jaw implant usually takes about one to two hours. Internal incisions are made on either side of the mouth to provide access for creating a pocket into which the lower-jaw implant can be inserted. Dissolving sutures are used to close the incisions.

Recovering from Lower Jaw Implant Surgery

  • Swelling is sometimes significant immediately following surgery, usually peaking 24 to 48 hours afterward. Although most of the significant swelling will subside over a period of several days, prolonged mild swelling may prevent your final facial contour from becoming apparent for several months.
  • During the healing phase, your activities and diet will be restricted. Your ability to smile, talk or move your mouth in any way may be limited for several days to weeks following surgery. You will be instructed about dental and oral hygiene during your recovery.

Getting Back to Normal

Remember, with any facial surgery, you may feel and look better in a short period of time. However, it may not be advisable to participate in certain activities — especially activity that may result in the face being jarred or bumped — for several weeks. It’s best to discuss any concerns with your surgeon about such matters.

Your New Look

  • You may not be able to accurately evaluate your appearance for weeks, or perhaps even months. Give yourself plenty of time to get used to your new look.
  • You may be surprised to find that most people won’t recognize that you’ve had facial implant surgery.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Eyelid Surgery

  • The eyes are a prominent facial feature. The lids and surrounding skin help convey emotion. The skin, muscle, fat, eyebrows and lashes all contribute to the wide array of expressions. Unfortunately, wrinkles and deep lines as well as puffiness under the lids develop as you age. In addition, exposure to the sun as well as hereditary factors contribute to the aging process, all resulting in changes of expression. In many cases, people may look fatigued, worn out and older than their true age. Beyond possible visual impairment, these changes in your appearance can cause stress and anxiety. Excessive skin folds can develop in the eyelids due to loss of elasticity of the skin. These folds can interfere with vision by reducing the visual field.
  • Our best eyelid surgeon in Mysore are trained in several surgical procedures, such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) in Mysore, forehead lift and brow lift in order to eliminate the majority of these problems.

Before Eyelid Surgery

  • To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to eyelid surgery in Mysuru. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes and face are made in order to take the most effective surgical approach. The amount, distribution and type of excess skin to be removed are carefully reviewed.
  • Our eyelid surgeon in Mysore will provide you with pre-operative instructions that include the elimination of smoking and specific drugs containing aspirin before blepharoplasty in Mysuru to minimize excess bleeding. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to prevent infection.
  • Digital photographs and computer imaging is performed in order to plan the surgery and to determine the amount of improvement after surgery at blepharoplasty surgery hospitals in Mysore.

Post-Operative Information

  • Initially, drying of the eyes can occur after blepharoplasty. This condition can be alleviated with natural tears eye drops during the day and methylcellulose drops at night. If a transconjunctival incision is used then an eye ointment will be prescribed by best doctors for eyelid surgery in Mysore. In addition, you may be sensitive to bright light and wind for a period of time. Numbness and itching may also occur during the healing process. A final evaluation may occur within several months from the initial surgical procedure.
  • To preview Pre-Operative Instructions, Consent and Post-Operative Instructions along with the scheduled visits, see “Doc’s Orders; Cosmetic Plastic Surgery; Blepharoplasty”.
  • Our doctor can perform blepharoplasty to correct sagging eyelids, bags or pouches beneath the eyes, as well as excess folds around the eyes. This surgical procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat on either the upper and lower eyelids or both and is often performed in conjunction with other surgical procedures including facelifts, eyebrow lift and forehead lifts. Blepharoplasty can be done under general anaesthesia or under IV Sedation or even with local anaesthesia only. Your choice will depend on your level of comfort with procedures.

Lip Enhancement

Also known as lip injections, lip fillers and lip augmentation

Having full, plump lips is often considered a sign of good health, beauty and youth. Whether you were born with thin lips or your lips are thinning due to the natural aging process, there are many ways to enhance them or restore soft tissue loss. Lip injections using natural or synthetic fillers can keep your lips plump for months at a time. Lip implants and other surgical procedures can also be performed by lip enhancement surgeon in Mysore for a more permanent solution. Other options include lip lifts, vermillion (lip) advancement and permanent makeup. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful lip enhancement and are pleased with the results.

These are the top three pros and cons to weigh when considering lip enhancement. If you want to focus on what is unique to you, please consult with your aesthetic plastic surgeon.

Are you a good candidate for a lip enhancement?

The following are some common reasons why you may want to consider lip enhancement:

  • Good candidates for lip enhancement want to plump up thin lips or create a fuller look. If you smile and your top lip or both lips disappear, you may benefit from lip augmentation.
  • Some techniques can improve uneven lips, the shape of your mouth and gum-show when you smile.
  • On the other hand, if your lips are too large and overwhelm your face, speak to your plastic surgeon about lip reduction surgery.

If you are in good general health, have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, you are most likely a good candidate for this procedure.

Nonsurgical treatments

Fat, collagen and other natural or synthetic materials may be injected safely into your lips to add volume.

Surgical Lip Enhancement

  • Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure.
