How to correct a crooked chin after being hit

The facial bones of the human body are very fragile. If they are accidentally hit by external force, it is easy to cause the chin to be crooked. If the chin is accidentally hit crooked, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. If the doctor confirms that it can be restored through plastic surgery, it is best to follow the doctor's arrangements. Never seek correction from a plastic surgeon without examination, as this will cause great harm.

How to fix a crooked chin?

Mandibular reshaping is a good way to correct this crooked chin. General anesthesia is required before the operation, and an incision will be made inside the mouth and on the lower gums. The doctor will saw the chin bone according to the facial proportions of the patient and re-fix it in the perfect position. The swelling will completely subside about 3 weeks after the operation, and the stitches in the mouth do not need to be removed.

There are two main methods of mandibular plastic surgery to correct misaligned jaws. One is osteotomy for hemijaw correction and the other is bone grafting for hemijaw correction.

Among them, osteotomy is a method of osteotomy designed according to the specific situation of jaw deviation. After the bone blocks are cut and freed, they are reassembled at the predetermined position to reconstruct the normal bone shape of the craniofacial region and achieve the purpose of correcting jaw deviation.

Bone grafting method for hemimaxillary plastic surgery is a very important technique in craniofacial surgery. It is very important for reconstructing the continuity of bone blocks after osteotomy and increasing the bone volume of the corresponding parts. There are many ways to graft bones, but generally speaking, they all involve shaping the implanted bone and connecting it to the appropriate location to reconstruct the facial contour and correct jaw deformity.

Mandibular angle plastic surgery is a complex plastic surgery project that selects the appropriate surgical plan based on each person's detailed situation, removes the enlarged mandibular margin and part of the masseter muscle, and makes the face smaller and the lines smoother.
