How Soon After Double Jaw Surgery Can I Get Facial Implants?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m post-op DJS and looking for one more procedure to enlargen and fix lower third asymmetries to meet ideal facial ratios, in addition to providing additional undereye support to infraorbital rims and potentially zygos. How many months post-op would I need to be and how soon could this procedure take place?
A:Pursuing secondary facial enhancements after double jaw surgery its common in my practice experience. When to do so depends when one certain that there is a need which is usually known 3 to 4 months after the double jaw surgery (some may know sooner) and would be the soonest one would undergo surgery anyway to be fully healed after their initial jaw surgery. Custom facial implants take 3 to 4 months to design and prepare for surgery so that time frame can also be factored into the decision as to when to start.
