Preparation for surgery and the postoperative period

At the NBMedical clinic, you can project future changes using a computer program. First, the specialist takes photos from different angles, and then creates an image with the changes made to the appearance.

A number of studies are necessarily prescribed to identify possible contraindications:

•       tests for infections;
•       CT scan of the skull;
•       basic blood test;
•       400;”>ECG;
•       general urine analysis;
•       coagulogram.

Chin correctionis performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision (up to 3 cm) from the inner or outer side of the lip, in the chin area. After that, corrective manipulations are performed. After the operation is completed, a bandage is applied to the area being corrected.

This operation lasts about 40 minutes. If other types of correction are performed at the same time, the patient may spend up to 1.5 hours in the operating room.

Immediately after the operation, pain, swelling of the tissues, and numbness of the skin in the area of ​​the intervention will be disturbing. If necessary, a special bandage will be applied to fix the place of the procedure.

Intraoral access will require dietary restrictions: initially, only liquid food is allowed with careful removal of its remains. It is recommended to reduce physical activity in the first days, limit gym visits for a month, and for people involved in martial arts, postpone training for at least 2-3 months.
