Consider Dr. Kwan of NYC for profile,
jaw, and cheek cosmetic surgery solutions

How is this treatment completed?

The procedure performed will be determined greatly by the patient’s goals and desires. If an enhancement is desired, the area may be augmented with the use of facial implants. For patients who want a smoother appearance or a reduction, the procedure may require the shaving down of the natural bone to achieve results. The planning of the procedure is done with the patient to ensure both doctor and patient are on the same page as to the changes being made. The surgery is completed with sedation and anesthetic in a surgical operating room and may require transportation to and from the practice from a friend or relative. All patients leave our office with appropriate medications for pain and swelling and post-operative instructions to follow to reduce the risk of infection or complications.
