- Complete facial analysis with photographs, X-rays (cephalogram, OPG), and often 3D CT scans.
- Medical evaluation including blood tests and possibly cardiac clearance to ensure fitness for surgery.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (aspirin, NSAIDs, certain supplements) as advised by the surgeon.
- Arranging for help at home and taking necessary time off work for the recovery period.

- General surgical risks: Bleeding, infection, and adverse reaction to anesthesia.
- Nerve injury potentially leading to temporary or permanent numbness or weakness in parts of the face.
- Asymmetry, under-correction, or over-correction requiring possible revision surgery.
- Bone healing problems, non-union, or implant-related issues if grafts or plates are used.
- Scarring, though incisions are often placed inside the mouth or in discreet locations.
- Swelling, bruising, and pain, which are common but temporary post-operative effects.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for monitoring, pain management, and initial wound care.
- Significant facial swelling and bruising peak in the first 3-5 days and gradually subside over weeks.

Ayaan Brown, a 28-year-old high school...
Ayaan Brown, a 28-year-old high school history teacher, had lived with a pronounced, asymmetrical jawline since his teens, the result of a childhood bicycle accident that fractured his mandible. While the bone healed, it left a visible dent and uneven contour on his left side. For years, he avoided profile photos, felt self-conscious when lecturing, and constantly angled his 'good side' towards others. His girlfriend gently encouraged him to explore his options. A consultation with a reconstructive surgeon confirmed that a custom-fitted jaw implant combined with minor fat grafting could restore symmetry and balance to his lower face. The outpatient procedure, under general anesthesia, took about two hours. Recovery involved a soft diet and mild swelling for two weeks. The outcome was transformative, not drastic, but a natural correction that brought his features into harmony. Emotionally, Ayaan moved from a place of quiet resignation and hyper-awareness to profound relief. He felt his external appearance finally matched his internal confidence, allowing him to be fully present in his classroom and personal life without the old mental filter.
