Rhinoplasty / Nose Job

As facial features go, the nose is the most prominent and easily distinguishable. It most often needs cosmetic improvement to create balance, symmetry, beauty, and function. A beautiful nose is useless if breathing is difficult or impossible. Noses are unique, varying in size and shape significantly. Our talented surgeons, always with the eye of an artist, will create a nose that is beautiful and functional.

It is important to pick the right surgeon for a Rhinoplasty because although it is the most common worldwide surgery, it is also highly technical and challenging. Many people using inexperienced surgeons are unhappy with their results and often need expensive revisions. Our Surgeons have decades of experience and perform thousands of surgeries a year on every type and ethnicity of nose worldwide.

A Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty

Wants to improve nose appearance: This is why people opt for rhinoplasty. They may want to change their nose’s shape, size, or appearance to match their facial features better or correct a deformity.
Physically healthy: Any surgical procedure requires good health. This includes a stable medical condition and tolerance for the anesthetic and surgical procedure.
Realistic expectations: Patients need realistic expectations about the surgery’s outcome. Rhinoplasty can significantly improve but cannot completely change the nose’s appearance. The surgeon will explain the limitations and what can be expected from the surgery.
Don’t smoke: Smoking can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery, such as slow wound healing, infection, and poor scarring. Therefore, the patient needs to quit smoking before and after the surgery.
Knows the risks and complications of rhinoplasty well: Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty does carry some risks and complications. Patients should be well-informed about these risks and should be willing to accept them before undergoing the surgery. Some possible complications include bleeding, infection, anesthesia reactions, dissatisfaction with the results, and the need for revision surgery. The surgeon will discuss these risks with the patient before the surgery and answer any questions they may have.

Additionally, it is important to note that adults are the best candidates for rhinoplasty, as the nose has fully grown and developed by age 16. Patients should also be emotionally stable and well-informed about the procedure and its recovery process.

Rhinoplasty techniques

During the procedure, the surgeon will examine the patient’s nose and design a new shape in harmony with the rest of the face to achieve the desired results. Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers various types of rhinoplasty, such as:

1- Bridge Reduction Rhinoplasty:

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia to reduce the height of the nose bridge. The surgeon will make incisions inside the nostrils to access the nasal bones, which will be sculpted to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape. This type of rhinoplasty can address issues such as a too-high or too-large nose or an inadequately curved bridge. The surgery typically takes 2-3 hours, and patients must stay in the hospital overnight. Recovery time is generally around one week.

2- Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty:

This procedure is used to reduce a prominent nasal hump, which can give the nose a masculine appearance. Depending on the size of the hump, the method can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The incisions are made inside the nostrils to minimize visible scarring. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, and patients must stay in the hospital overnight. Recovery time is generally around one week.

3- Tip Shortening Rhinoplasty:

This procedure reduces the length of the nasal tip. The incisions are made inside the nostrils to minimize visible scarring. The surgery typically takes about one hour and is performed under local anesthesia. Patients can return home immediately after the procedure. Recovery time is generally around one week.

4- Nasal Tip Correction Rhinoplasty:

This procedure reshapes large, wide, or flat nostrils to make them look petite, attractive, and feminine. The surgeon adjusts the nose tip, making it slimmer and slightly lifted. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about one hour. Patients can return home immediately after the procedure, and recovery time is generally around one week.

5- Lateral Osteotomy Rhinoplasty:

This procedure is used to narrow the sides of the nose, correct an open-roof deformity after hump reduction, and create symmetry by straightening the nasal bone framework. It involves making incisions inside the nostrils to access the nasal bones and reshape them as needed.

6- Nasal Tip Rotation, Drooping, and Ptosis Correction Rhinoplasty:

This procedure corrects issues with the nasal tip’s rotation, drooping, or ptosis (sagging). It involves adjusting the tip of the nose to lift it upward and increase the angle between the upper lip and the edge of the nose. This can be done through incisions inside the nostrils to minimize visible scarring.

7- Spreading Graft Rhinoplasty:

This procedure involves using alar cartilage as a spreader graft to improve functional deficiencies within the nose. This can be done through incisions inside the nostrils to minimize visible scarring. The alar cartilages are taken from the patient’s nose and used to improve the internal structure of the nose, such as to improve breathing. The surgery takes about 2-3 hours. Overnight hospital admission is required. The recovery period is approximately one week.

8- Septoplasty:

This surgical procedure corrects a deviated septum, the partition between the two nostrils. It is done by straightening the septum, which improves airflow through the nose and can also help relieve breathing difficulties. The surgery can be done through incisions inside the nostrils to minimize visible scarring. The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours, and recovery time is generally around one week.

9- Perinasal Augmentation Rhinoplasty:

This procedure raises the upper nasolabial line, which is the area between the nose’s side and the mouth’s corner. An incision is made inside the mouth, and an implant is inserted to fill in hollow wrinkles around the side nostrils, improving the area’s appearance. The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours, and recovery time is generally around one week.

10- Alarplasty:

This procedure is used to reshape and narrow the excessively wide nostrils. The procedure is done by making incisions inside the nostrils, which is done under local anesthesia. The surgery typically takes about 30 minutes, and patients can return home immediately after the procedure. Recovery time is generally around one week.

Preparing for Rhinoplasty

Consult with your surgeon to determine if rhinoplasty is appropriate for you and discuss your surgery goals.
Undergo a physical examination, blood tests, chest X-ray, and electrolyte tests.
Have a CT scan if needed.
Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol at least one week before the surgery.
Inform your surgeon about any medications, vitamins, or herbs you take. Some, such as aspirin, may interfere with blood clotting and must be stopped before the surgery.

Post-operative Care for Rhinoplasty

Keep your head elevated to reduce bleeding and swelling.
Follow your surgeon’s instructions for protecting and supporting your nose with a splint, usually worn for one week.
Use a bath instead of a shower while you have bandages on your nose.
Avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks after surgery.
Avoid making extreme facial expressions, such as smiling or laughing.
Brush your teeth gently to limit movement of your upper lip.
Do not wear eyeglasses or sunglasses on your nose for at least four weeks after surgery.
Temporary swelling or bruising can occur for two to three weeks after surgery.
Do not put ice or cold packs on your nose after surgery.
Follow all post-operative instructions and attend all post-operative appointments as instructed by your surgeon.

Risks and Complications of Rhinoplasty:

Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty carries certain risks. Although rare, these may include:

Infection
Damage to the bones in the forehead
Facial asymmetry
Adverse reaction to anesthesia
Suture rupture along an incision line
Visible scarring
Fluid accumulation under the skin (seroma)
Clotted blood accumulation within the tissues (hematoma)
Dissatisfaction with the appearance after surgery
Injury to the facial nerves.

Discussing these risks with your surgeon before the surgery is essential to ensure a clear understanding of the potential complications and how to best manage them.

Recovery:

After the surgery, you will likely have a nasal splint to protect and support your nose for a few days. You may experience swelling and bruising around the eyes, which typically subsides within a week. Taking at least a two-week break from work is recommended to allow for proper healing. Avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks. It may take up to four months to see a good idea of the final result, but the outcome may take up to a year. The reshaping of the nasal structure can significantly affect a person’s appearance, but swelling takes time to subside entirely. This is particularly true for revision rhinoplasty, so choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon is important.

Understanding the importance of an experienced expert in Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that changes the shape and size of the nose. It is important to use an experienced surgeon for this procedure because the nose is a complex and delicate structure that requires precise surgical techniques to achieve the desired results.

Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Surgery in Bangkok Thailand

The eyes are often called the window to the soul, playing a crucial role in facial expression and conveying emotions. The classic almond shape, with its elongated curve, longer lashes, and subtly thinned eyebrows, is a highly desired aesthetic.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyelids. Whether your goal is to achieve a more youthful look, address sagging skin, or create more defined eyelids, eyelid surgery can help you achieve your desired aesthetic.

A well-defined upper eyelid crease contributes to a youthful and refreshed appearance. However, many individuals of Asian descent have no or only partial eyelid creases. The presence of excess fat within the eyelid (orbital fat) can obscure the crease, making the eyes appear smaller or less alert.

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers a comprehensive range of eyelid surgery procedures to refine the shape and size of your eyes, creating a more attractive and balanced appearance. These procedures can address various concerns, including drooping eyelids, excess skin, under-eye bags, and wrinkles.

1. Double Eyelid Surgery

This procedure is highly popular among individuals of Asian descent who desire more defined or prominent double eyelids. It can create a more alert and youthful appearance. Two primary techniques are offered:

Open Double Eyelid Surgery Technique: This technique involves making an incision in the eyelid crease. Through this incision, the surgeon removes excess fat and skin, creating a new, well-defined crease.
Suturing Double Eyelid Surgery Technique:This technique uses sutures to create a double eyelid crease without the need for a surgical incision. It is less invasive and has a faster recovery time. The surgeon carefully places sutures to create the desired crease, thus resulting in a natural-looking double eyelid.

2. Eye Ptosis Correction

Eye ptosis, or drooping eyelid, is a condition where the upper eyelid sags or droops. It can occur due to aging, congenital factors, or medical conditions. The surgical technique used depends on the severity of the ptosis:

Mild to Moderate Ptosis: In cases of mild to moderate ptosis, the surgeon focuses on tightening and repositioning the levator muscle, which is responsible for lifting the eyelid. This helps to restore the eyelid’s natural function and improve its position.
Severe Ptosis: For individuals with severe ptosis, where the levator muscle is significantly weakened, the surgeon may use a frontalis muscle flap from the forehead to support the eyelid.

3. Lower Eyelid Surgery

This procedure addresses common signs of aging around the eyes, such as dark circles, wrinkles, and sagging skin. It creates a smoother, more youthful under-eye area, thus contributing to a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

Transconjunctival Eyelid Surgery Technique: This technique is suitable for individuals with under-eye bags (puffiness) but whose skin and tissues still have good elasticity. The incision is made inside the eyelid (transconjunctival), leaving no visible scar. Excess fat is removed through this incision, and the incision is then closed with dissolvable sutures.

Transcutaneous Eyelid Surgery Technique: This technique is used for those with sagging skin, under-eye bags, or wrinkles, and where the skin has less elasticity. The incision is made just below the lower eyelashes (transcutaneous). Excess fat is removed, the muscle is tightened, and excess skin is trimmed. Sutures are then used to close the incision.

4. Epicanthoplasty

This procedure reduces or eliminates the epicanthic fold; a fold of skin that covers the inner corner of the eye, common in individuals of Asian descent. By removing or repositioning this fold, the eyes appear larger, brighter, and more open.

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers three epicanthoplasty techniques to address varying degrees of epicanthic folds:

W-Epicanthoplasty: The surgeon makes a W-shaped incision at the inner corner of the eye. This method is suitable for individuals with a more pronounced epicanthic fold. It allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the angle and extent of the medial canthus (inner corner of the eye).
Z-Epicanthoplasty: This technique involves rearranging the skin at the inner corner of the eye without removing any skin. The scar is less visible compared to the W-shaped incision. It is suitable for those with a moderate epicanthic fold.
V-Epicanthoplasty: This technique is used for mild epicanthic folds. It involves a V-shaped incision and carefully preserves the natural downward tip of the medial canthus. The surgeon must precisely control the dissection to achieve natural-looking results.
5. Canthoplasty
This procedure focuses on the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus), improving its shape and position for a more balanced, youthful, and natural appearance.
- Lateral Canthoplasty: This cosmetic surgery creates a change in the horizontal dimension of the eye, effectively making the eyes appear wider. It can enlarge the outer edge of the eye by approximately 2-3 mm. Lateral canthoplasty can be performed in conjunction with double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty to further enhance the eyes.
- Canthopexy (Cat Eyes): This minor procedure strengthens and stabilizes the lateral canthal tendon, which helps to tighten a drooping lower eyelid or correct ectropion (outward turning of the eyelid). Canthopexy repositions the outer corner of the eye where the eyelids meet, thus creating a subtle upward lift and restoring a more youthful look. It can uplift the eye by around 5 mm.
- Lowering Canthoplasty: In some individuals of East Asian descent, the lateral canthus may be positioned too high, giving the eyes an unnatural appearance. Lowering canthoplasty can move the lateral canthus downward by approximately 3-5 mm. Incisions are made in the upper and lower eyelids, and the canthal ligament is repositioned and adjusted to achieve a more balanced and harmonious eye shape.
- Post-operative Care for Blepharoplasty
  Proper post-operative care is essential to minimize discomfort, promote healing, and achieve optimal results after blepharoplasty. Here are some key instructions:
  - Cold Compress: For the first two to four hours after surgery, apply a cold pack (cold towel or gel pack) over the eyelids to reduce swelling and bruising.
  - Elevated Head: Sleep and rest with your head slightly elevated for at least a week to help minimize swelling.
  - Avoid Straining: Take extra caution when coughing or sneezing to prevent bleeding or putting pressure on the incisions.
  - Dietary Restrictions: Refrain from smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, and eating salty, spicy, or preserved/pickled foods for 1-2 weeks, as these can increase swelling and hinder healing.
  - Hygiene: 24 hours after the surgery, the plaster may be removed, and the face can be gently cleaned with a moist cloth. Avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the eyelids.
  Risks and Complications for Blepharoplasty
  While eyelid surgery is generally a safe and effective procedure, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and complications. These can include:
  - Swelling and bruising: These are common side effects and usually subside within a few weeks.
  - Bleeding: There is a risk of bleeding during or after the surgery, although this is typically minor and easily controlled.
  - Dry eyes: Some patients may experience temporary dryness in the eyes after surgery.
  - Sensitivity to light: The eyes may be more sensitive to light for a few weeks after the procedure.
  - Difficulty closing eyes: In rare cases, patients may have difficulty fully closing their eyes, especially during sleep. This usually resolves as the swelling subsides.
  - Ectropion: This is a condition where the lower eyelid turns outward. It is a rare complication of lower eyelid surgery.
  - Infection: There is a risk of infection with any surgical procedure, although this is uncommon with blepharoplasty.
  - Pain: Some pain and discomfort are expected after surgery, but this can be managed with pain medication.
  - Scarring: Incisions are typically made in the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize scarring. However, some visible scarring may occur.
  - Temporary or permanent change in vision: This is an extremely rare complication.
  Recovery from Blepharoplasty
  
  During the first week of recovery, you will likely experience some discomfort from swelling, bruising, irritation, and dry eyes. These symptoms can be managed with medication, cold compresses, and ointment.
  
  Most patients can return to work and light activities within 7-10 days after surgery. However, it may take several weeks for the swelling to completely subside and for the final results to become apparent.

Alarplasty

Alarplasty Reshape of the Nostrils in Bangkok, Thailand

Alarplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape and reduce the size of nostrils. A small, wedge-shaped piece of skin is removed to create smaller, narrower nostrils. Alarplasty is a popular procedure combined with rhinoplasty to refine and beautify the nose shape.

Rhinoplasty is a general term for any operation designed to change the nose shape and size, such as hump removal, correcting bulbous or droopy nasal tips, or other rhinoplasty surgeries to restore functionality, such as deviated septum; Alarplasty refers solely to the surgery to narrow the nostrils when the nostrils are too wide. Alarplasty involves removing skin from the nostrils and suturing the nostril closed, thereby narrowing the nostrils. The incisions are made inside the nose and are contained to only the nose.

Lip Surgery

Lip Surgery: Augmentation / Reduction Bangkok Thailand

Lips are one of the most defining characteristics of female attractiveness and beauty. Beautiful female lips are full, moist and plump.

Popular lip surgeries include increasing or reducing the volume of a lip, lifting a droopy lip and adjusting the lip shapes in order to create a more attractive and youthful appearance. At Kamol Cosmetic Hospital we offer numerous methods of lip surgery and perioral surgery as follows:

Lips Reduction
Increasing lip volume
Horn Chestnut- shaped lip
Upper Lip Lift
Cupid Bow Lip Enhancement
Philtrum enhancement
Lips Enhancement
Corner Lip Lift
Dimples Surgery

1. Lip Reduction

Lip reduction is a surgical procedure that enhances the facial appearance by reducing the volume of upper, lower or both lips. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures (stitches) that dissolve after 7-10 days. See picture 2.

The operation time takes less than one hour and is performed under local anesthesia.

2. Lip surgery with Horn chestnut-shaped lip

Horn chestnut-shaped lips surgery is a surgical procedure to make the upper lip chestnut-shaped. The upper lip is made to curve upwards whilst the central part curves downward like a bow. The upper lips will reveal the teeth which is a very youthful attractive look. Whether the horn chestnut-shaped lip surgery can be performed depends on the original shape and size of the upper lip and facial proportions.

3. Lip surgery by Upper Lip Lift

The upper lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the philtrum (space between the nose and the top of the mouth) This often gets longer with age. This procedure turns the lip upwards, increasing the visible part of the upper lip and reducing the length between the nose and the top lip. The result is a much more youthful and attractive look.

At Kamol Cosmetic Hospital we offer three methods for lip lifts as follows:

3.1. Upper lip lift with Sub Nasal Bullhorn technique, An incision scar will be made along the base of the nose where it is less visible. The incision is shaped like a bullhorn. The upper lip is pulled up toward the nose.

3.2 Upper lip lift with a direct lip. The incision is made above the upper lip and the lip is remodelled to the desired lool. The excess skin is then removed. The benefit of this technique is that it shorterns long aging drooping lips but the downside is that it leaves a faint scar.

4. Lip surgery by Cupid Bow Lip Enhancement

The Cupid bow is where there is the double curve or M shape of the upper lip like the bow of Cupid. Cupid bow lip enhancement is a surgical procedure to increase the prominence of the Cupids bow with the use of filler injection or augmentation with the Acellular dermal matrix. The surgeon will mark 4 points (as in picture 6) they then insert the material through the border of the upper lip on both sides.

5. Lip surgery by Philtrum enhancement

The philtrum is a narrow groove between the nose and upper lip. Philtrum enhancement is a surgical procedure to improve the prominence of Philtrum making the upper lip more projected and beautiful. There are two methods for Philtrum enhancement as follows:

5.1 Philtrum enhancement with V-shave scar. The surgeon makes a 2-3 mm V shape incision at the base of a nose and removes the spare skin. This procedure will create a more prominent Philtrum.

5.2 Phitrum enhancement with augmentation, The surgeon makes 4 points and inserts the Acellular dermal matrix through both sides of the philtrum and then sutures.

6. Lip surgery by Lips Enhancement

Lip enhancement is a surgical procedure to adjust the shape of the upper, lower, or both lips to add more volume which adds significant beauty to a face. There are many methods of lip enhancement as follows:

6.1 Lip Enhancement by Autologous Cellular Regeneration (PRP) Lips lose perioral volume as we age. The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is one of the most advanced procedures to improve muscle tissue vascularity and neuronal regeneration which increases the volume of the lips. This procedure is a minimally invasive lip rejuvenation procedure that uses PRP injections three times within three months. The result can be visible for up to 3 months.

6.2 Lips Enhancement by filler injection. This is the most popular non-surgical method and has been the standard non-permanent treatment for many years. The filler usually includes Hyaluronic acid and lasts around 6-12 months.

Advantage: Non-surgical with immediately visible results.

Disadvantage: Non-permanent. Repeated injections are needed wasting time and money. Possibility of allergy to Hyaluronic acid.

6.3 Lips Enhancement by the Acellular dermal matrix: This uses the patient’s own skin to create fuller lips. Acellular dermal matrix is a soft connective tissue graft generated by a decellularization process that preserves the extracellular skin matrix intact. In simplified terms, this procedure passes a piece of your skin that has been specially prepared through the lip. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The incision scar is on either side of the lip at 2 points and the skin matrix is passed through the lip.

6.4 Lips Enhancement by Fat Graft. Fat is sucked from the body in an area such as the abdomen or under the arm. The fat is extracted to only keep only the nano fat. This is then injected into the lips making them fuller. See picture 11.

Advantage: The fat comes from your own tissue so it can’t be rejected or cause an allergic reaction.

Disadvantage: Some fat that is injected may disappear, and the lip shape may be unbalanced. It will need to be repeated 1-2 times to become stable.

7. Lip surgery by Corner Lip Lift

The corner lip lift is a plastic procedure to improve the downturned lip corners that develop with age. The aging lips can develop an unhappy or even bitter appearance that cannot be treated with a facelift. A small incision is made at both sides of the Vermillion border and excess skin will be removed.

8. Dimples Surgery

Dimples are the indentations that occur when some people smile. They are most often located on the bottom of the cheeks. A suture from one side of the cheek muscle to the other is made and the stitching is tied to set the dimple permanently in place. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia.

Post-Operative care for Dimples Surgery

Keep the oral wounds clean by drinking lots of water and using mouthwash for at least two weeks after surgery to prevent infection.
Wait 3 days after surgery before using a toothbrush.
Avoid sticky food.
Try to talk as little as possible for 2-4 weeks to help prevent loose stitches.

Much rarer complications are:

Bleeding
Infection
Scaring

Recovery for Lip Reshaping

In the following days after the surgery, patients will be given pain medication and given an ice pack to put on the lips to decrease pain and swelling. The patient can usually return to work within a week of surgery. The best results will be seen at about two to three months after surgery.

Otoplasty / Bat Ear

Ear Surgery or Otoplasty in Bangkok, Thailand

Ear surgery, or Otoplasty, can alter the shape, position, or proportion of the ears to improve appearance or correct a deformity from a congenital condition or injury.

A good candidate for Otoplasty

Someone is unsatisfied with bat ear
Healthy, no smoking
Realistic expectation.

Otoplasty preparation

Consultation with the surgeon to achieve your goal.
Stop smoking at least one week before surgery.
Stop some medicines, vitamins, or herbs that interfere with coagulation, such as aspirin.

Otoplasty Procedure:

The surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the ear to expose the cartilage, then sculpts the cartilage and bends it back towards the head. Non-removable stitches may be used to help maintain the new shape. Occasionally, the surgeon may remove a large piece of cartilage to provide a more natural-looking fold. The patient’s head will be wrapped in a bulky bandage immediately following surgery to promote the healing. The ears may throb or ache a little for a few days, but this can be relieved by medication.

Within a few days, the bulky bandages will be replaced by lighter headdressing, similar to a headband. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s directions for using this dressing, especially at night. Stitches are usually removed or dissolved in about a week.

Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is a relatively simple procedure to allow an earlobe to heal after incidents such as elongated piercing, stretching, tearing, and keloid scarring. In this procedure, the surgeon cuts away some healed skin on the inside of the torn earlobe. The fresh edges are sutured back together. The suture is removed after five days.

Nose Implant / Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Nose Implant Surgery / Augmentation Rhinoplasty in Bangkok, Thailand

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgeries performed worldwide. However, it is a complex procedure and requires an experienced and skilled surgeon to minimize the risk of complications. Choosing a surgeon with a proven track record and a reputation in the industry is crucial. Our Hospital is renowned for performing thousands of successful rhinoplasties each year, and our surgeons are experts in working with all types of noses and ethnicities.

Rhinoplasty, a nose implant or augmentation, is a popular cosmetic surgery that aims to enhance the nose’s appearance. The nose is considered a key feature in determining facial attractiveness, and a nose that is well-proportioned to the face can improve confidence and self-esteem. In particular, rhinoplasty is commonly performed on Asian noses, which tend to be wide and flat with large nostrils.

The procedure can involve using silicone implants to lift the ridge of the nose and make it more attractive, as well as alarplasty to adjust the size of the nostrils. It is essential to choose a skilled and experienced surgeon who can tailor the surgery to suit the individual’s face, personality, gender, and age.

What conditions can be addressed with Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that can address various concerns related to the nose. Some common conditions that can be treated with rhinoplasty include:

Nasal asymmetry: correcting a crooked or uneven nose
Nasal obstruction: improving breathing by addressing issues such as a deviated septum
Nasal tip issues: reshaping the tip of the nose to make it more proportionate to the rest of the face
Nasal hump: removing a bump or hump on the bridge of the nose
Nostril size: reducing the size of the nostrils to create a more balanced look
Rhinophyma: treating an enlarged nose caused by rosacea.

It’s important to note that each individual’s case is unique, and some conditions may require a different approach and technique. Therefore, it’s recommended to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your case and recommend the best course of treatment.

Consultations with the Surgeon

I think it’s essential to have initial conversations with the surgeon to express your desired outcomes clearly and receive professional guidance in making informed decisions. The surgeon will suggest appropriate procedures to achieve the desired nose shape and appearance during the consultation.

What are the differences between open and closed techniques in Rhinoplasty?

Open and closed rhinoplasty are surgical techniques used to perform a nose job.

Open rhinoplasty involves making an incision across the columella (the area between the nostrils) to access the internal structures of the nose. This allows for greater visibility of the underlying cartilage and bone and enables the surgeon to make more extensive adjustments to the nose.
Closed rhinoplasty, conversely, uses incisions made inside the nose, leaving no visible scars. The closed technique corrects nasal cartilage, bone, and septum. It has the benefit of a slightly shorter recovery time compared to open rhinoplasty.

Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages; choosing which one to use depends on the specific case and the surgeon’s preference. I’d appreciate it if you could discuss the options with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Which procedure is better?

Closed rhinoplasty may have a slightly shorter recovery time and less swelling. Still, open rhinoplasty may be more suitable for complex cases that require more precision and visibility of the underlying structures.

It’s important to note that the surgeon decides which technique to use based on the individual case and the desired outcome. The differences between the two methods must be more significant to impact the recovery process or scarring significantly.

Of all facial surgeries, rhinoplasty has the most significant impact on the face’s overall appearance. It can significantly enhance the attractiveness of the nose and, in turn, positively impact self-confidence and self-esteem, leading to an overall improvement in quality of life.

Materials used in Nose Implant:

Some of the commonly used materials in rhinoplasty implants include:

Soft silicone: Soft silicone is a popular choice for rhinoplasty implants as it is soft, pliable, and conforms to the natural contours of the nose. It is also biocompatible and non-reactive, which makes it safe to use in the body.
e-PTFE (Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene) sheet: e-PTFE is a lightweight, flexible, and strong synthetic material commonly used for nasal dorsum (bridge) augmentation in Asian rhinoplasty.
Body tissue such as bone and cartilage: Sometimes, a patient’s body tissue may be used for the implant. Bone and cartilage can be taken from other body areas, such as the rib or ear, and used to shape and enhance the nose. This is a more natural option as it is the patient’s tissue, and the risk of rejection is lower.
PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) Customized Implant: PMMA is a synthetic polymer commonly used in medical and dental applications. It is a strong and durable material that can be customized to suit the individual’s needs. It is also a good option for patients who want a long-lasting result.

It’s worth noting that the choice of implant material depends on the patient’s case, the surgeon’s preference and expertise, and the desired outcome. Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial to determine the best implant material for you.

A good candidate for a Nose Implant:

You will be the right candidate if you are:

Having a flat or drooping nose shape that you wish to improve.
Being in good overall physical health.
Having realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.
Understand the risks and potential complications associated with the procedure and be willing to accept them.
Being at an age where the nose has finished growing, usually around the age of 14 for girls and 16 for boys.
Being emotionally stable and having a positive outlook.

Preparations for a Nose Implant:

Before undergoing augmentation rhinoplasty or a nose implant, it’s important to schedule a consultation with the surgeon to discuss the procedure, your goals, and other important factors. The surgeon will also assess your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and ask for lab tests to determine your eligibility for the surgery.

It’s crucial to follow the surgeon’s instructions and guidelines for preparation, including:

Avoid medications containing aspirin or ibuprofen for at least two weeks before and after the surgery, as they may increase bleeding.
Avoiding herbal remedies and over-the-counter supplements.
Ceasing smoking and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks before and after the surgery, as they can impede the healing process.
Following any additional instructions provided by the surgeon regarding diet, exercise, and skincare leading up to the surgery.

It’s important to be transparent with your surgeon about any medications you are taking, any underlying medical conditions, or any allergies you have so the surgeon can consider them when planning your surgery.

Nose Implant Procedure:

The nose implant procedure is typically performed using local or general anesthesia, depending on the surgeon’s recommendation.

The incision used in the procedure will depend on the type of surgery chosen and the surgeon’s preference. The closed technique makes incisions inside the nose, resulting in hidden scars, while the open technique uses an incision across the columella (the area between the nostrils), and the scar will be difficult to notice.

Once the incision is made, the implant will be placed on the dorsal bone. The shape of the implant will be adjusted to ensure it is balanced and looks natural with the face. The incision is then closed, and the surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, typically lasting 45 minutes to one hour.

I want to let you know that the procedure may vary depending on the individual case and the surgeon’s preference and expertise.

Post-operative care for Nose Implant:

Stitches inside the nose are absorbable sutures that will dissolve independently. Stitches on the outside have to be removed after 5-7 days after surgery.
Keep your head above your chest when in bed to reduce bleeding and swelling. The surgeon will tape a splint to your nose for protection and support for about one week.
Avoid strenuous activities such as aerobics and jogging.
Take baths instead of showers while you have bandages on your nose.
Do not blow your nose.
Avoid extreme facial expressions, such as smiling or laughing.
Brush your teeth gently to limit movement of your upper lip.
Don’t rest eyeglasses or sunglasses on your nose for at least four weeks after the surgery to prevent pressure on your nose
Swelling or bruising of your eyelids can occur for two to three weeks after surgery.
Limiting your dietary sodium (salt) intake will help the swelling go away faster.
Do not put anything such as ice or cold packs on your nose after surgery
Follow all post-operative instructions and attend all post-operative appointments.

Following your surgeon’s instructions and guidelines for post-operative care is important to ensure a successful outcome.

Risks and Complications associated with Nose Implants:

Scarring: Scarring is a potential risk of any surgical procedure, but the risk of visible scarring is usually minimal with a nose implant procedure.
Bleeding: Some bleeding is normal after surgery, but excessive bleeding can lead to a hematoma (blood clot) and may require further surgery.
Infection: An infection can occur at the incision site or around the implant. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent or treat a disease.
Swelling, bruising, pain: These are common after a nose implant procedure and usually subside within a few weeks.
Healing problems: Some patients may experience delayed healing or other issues with the healing process, which may require additional treatment.
Extrusion of the implant: In rare cases, the implant may shift or become displaced, requiring further surgery to correct.
Asymmetry: The nose may appear asymmetrical after the procedure, requiring additional surgery.
Unsatisfactory results: Some patients may be unhappy with the final results of the surgery, which may require additional surgery to correct.
Allergic reaction from the implant: In rare cases, the patient may develop an allergic reaction to the implant material, requiring the implant to be removed.

It’s important to note that the risks and complications may vary depending on the individual case and the surgeon’s preference and expertise.

Recovery Timeline for Nose Implants and Rhinoplasty:

The recovery process following a nose implant or rhinoplasty procedure varies for each individual. However, a general timeline can be as follows:

In the first week, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, and they must wear a cast or splint to protect the nose.
In the first two weeks, the cast is usually removed, and any non-dissolvable stitches used will be removed. Patients may still experience some swelling and bruising, but it should start to subside.
In the first month, most swelling and bruising should have dissipated, and patients can start seeing the surgery’s initial results.
Two to six months: the final results of the surgery will become apparent as the swelling dissipates.

You should take at least one to two weeks off work for recovery and avoid strenuous activities such as sports and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks after surgery.

Forehead Contouring / Forehead Shaving

Forehead Contouring, Brow Bossing Contouring, Brow Reduction:

These procedures involve altering the shape and contours of the forehead and brow bones to better match typical female features.

Forehead contouring is a surgical procedure that reduces the width and height of the forehead to create a more curved, rounded appearance. This can be done by shaving down the bone or by using a combination of bone-shaving and soft-tissue reshaping techniques.
Brow bossing contouring is a procedure that targets the protruding brow bones (also known as brow bossing) that are commonly found in men. It can reduce the size and prominence of the brow bones to create a more natural arch to the eyebrows.
Brow reduction is a procedure that addresses low-set or heavy eyebrows, which make them appear more masculine. It can be done by removing excess skin, fat, or bone to reposition the brows to a more feminine location.

Forehead Contouring:

Forehead contouring is a critical procedure for enhancing femininity and reducing masculinity of the upper facial features. Three main categories of forehead contouring are unique to the individual. The type of procedure needed can only be determined through a CT scan.

Procedure Type 1: This procedure involves implanting an implant in the mid-forehead area to improve the forehead’s curve. Implant materials can include injectable material, fat grafts, or permanent implants.
Procedure Type 2: This procedure involves shaving down the bone above the eye and frontal sinus areas using a contouring bur. The bone can be reduced by approximately 3-5 mm, and the incision is made behind the hairline, making it invisible.
Procedure Type 3: This procedure is used when the bone in the frontal sinus area is too thin to shave down. The bone is removed, reshaped, and then replaced.

Forehead feminization surgery aims to create a smooth, balanced appearance by reducing the size of the brow bossing, frontal sinus, and orbital rims and making the forehead slope slightly forward. The specific procedure used will depend on the individual’s biology. Surgery is performed through incisions made behind the hairline to minimize the visibility of scarring. The goal is to perform the least invasive procedure possible.

A Good Candidate for Forehead Contouring:

You have a typically masculine protruding frontal sinus bone, which can be contoured to create a more balanced facial shape.
You are healthy and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome.
You understand the risks associated with the procedure, such as potential scarring, infection, and nerve damage.
You have consulted with a qualified plastic surgeon and have discussed the procedure in detail.
You have a clear understanding of the recovery process and the potential side effects.
You clearly understand the cost of the procedure and any potential financing options.

Preparation for the forehead contouring:

Preparing for forehead contouring can be daunting, but it’s important to ensure the best possible outcome. To ensure a successful procedure, it’s important to:

Consult a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your surgical goals, medical conditions, and current treatments.
Undergo a health status and psychological examination, including blood tests, chest X-rays, electrolyte levels, and HIV tests.
A CT scan is also necessary.
Stop smoking and drinking alcohol for at least one week before surgery.
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements, as they can increase bleeding and bruising.
Stop eating and drinking at least 6 hours before surgery.

Procedures for forehead contouring:

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-3 hours to complete.

Forehead contouring Type II.

This procedure suits patients with thick bone over the frontal sinus but more feminine forehead features above the eye area. The surgeon grinds down the wall of the bone as much as possible without breaking through the frontal sinus to give a smooth and curved appearance. The bone can be reduced by approximately 2-3 mm by a high-speed electric burr. The scar is hidden as the incision is on the scalp behind the hairline.

Type II foreheads have protruding anterior walls of the frontal sinus but standard frontal nasal angles. Sometimes, forehead shaving alone may achieve the perfect appearance, and you may need implants or bone cement to smooth out the whole area to a feminine shape.

Forehead contouring type III

It is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the frontal bone of the forehead by removing a section of the frontal sinus.

The removed bone is then reshaped and repositioned before being secured with silk stitches to the bone.

The surrounding bones may also be contoured, and the orbital rims may be reduced to increase the dimensions of the anterior orbital rim. This procedure is typically performed to address cases of a prominent forehead bone and deep-set eyes.

Post-operative Recovery:

You will be given medical ice packs to apply to your face, most likely around the eyes, to control pain, redness, and swelling.

Avoid strenuous activity for three to four weeks.
Apply ice compresses to your forehead for 20 minutes at a time throughout the first few days of recovery to reduce swelling and discomfort
Keep the head elevated for 1-2 weeks after surgery to reduce post-op swelling
Have a selection of button-up shirts ready to wear during recovery to prevent irritating the scalp.
We will provide you with a compression garment, which you should wear as much as possible for at least two weeks to reduce swelling.

Risks and Complications for Forehead Contouring:

Complications for forehead contouring are generally rare, but as with any major surgery, there is a risk of bleeding, infection, and adverse reaction to anesthesia. Other potential complications include:

Suture rupture along an incision line
Visible scarring
Fluid accumulation (seroma) beneath the skin
Hematoma (bleeding)
Injury to the facial nerve
Exceptional cases may require additional surgery to correct facial asymmetry and enhance results

Recovery:

Recovery: After surgery, you can expect to return to work within two weeks. However, avoiding heavy exercise for at least six weeks is important to allow proper healing.

Although you’ll be close to the final results three months after surgery, minor changes and improvements may still occur for up to 12 months. Forehead surgery is often considered one of the most critical procedures for facial feminization and can have a significant positive impact on the quality of life for transgender women.

Why does forehead shaving surgery at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital enhance facial harmony?

Our plastic surgeons perform the procedure at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, one of the leading medical centers in Thailand.

One of the main benefits of forehead shaving surgery is that it can create a more harmonious and balanced appearance. A prominent brow bone can throw off the face’s proportions, making the forehead appear too large and the eyes too small. By reducing the size of the brow bones, a plastic surgeon can create a more proportional and attractive appearance.

‘Kamol Hospital offers a highly skilled and experienced team of plastic surgeons specializing in this procedure. The surgeons at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital are trained in the latest techniques for forehead shaving and use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that patients receive the best possible results.’

Hairline Lowering / Scalp Advancement

Hairline Lowering Surgery / Scalp Advancement in Bangkok, Thailand

The broad forehead is often an undesirable trait that causes a feeling of self-consciousness and dissatisfaction. One of the correcting techniques that we offer is a hairline lowering or forehead reduction procedure. This procedure can reduce the look of a wide forehead, restoring balance and improve overall facial symmetry.

A Good Candidate for Hairline lowering

Man or woman with a naturally high hairline, receding hairline unhappy with their forehead
A broad forehead and wants to shorten the forehead
Low or heavy eyebrows and want to change the proportion of your face
Healthy
Realistic expectation
Know the risks of the procedure well

Stop smoking and drinking alcohol at least one week before surgery
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding and bruising for at least two weeks
Stop eating and drinking at least 6 hours before surgery

Hairline Lowering Procedure:

Hairline lowering is an operation performed under general anesthesia
An incision is made at the hairline and extends into the temporal area within the hair-bearing region. The scalp advances through this incision, The excess forehead skin is then removed, and the hairline is placed in a new lowered position. In most cases, the hairline can be reduced by about 1/2 to 1 inch in a single procedure
The skin is sutured together in a way that minimizes scar formation and is hidden almost entirely by the hairline upon hair regrowth

The operation time is around 2 hours.

Post-operative care for Hairline Lowering

Stitches remove in one week
Keep the head elevated for 1-2 weeks after surgery to reduce post-op swelling
To control pain and swelling in your face with medication
Most patients can wash their hair the next day and go back to work a few days after the operation
In some cases, a follow-up hair transplant recommends lowering the hairline further and covering the hairline scar
Follow all post-operative instructions and attend all post-operative appointments

Risks and Complications for Hairline Lowering:

Scarring after the incision heals
Bleeding
Infection
Adverse reaction to anesthesia
Suture rupture along an incision line
Hematoma
Dissatisfaction with appearance after surgery
Facial nerve injury
Hair loss around incision scar

If an experienced, skilled professional performs the surgery, the risk of a visible scar and long-term effects is a minimum.

The result of Hairline Lowering

Hairline lowering will pull down hairline around 1.5-2 centimeters. Make your forehead more narrow 1.5-2 cm. Your face will be more balanced with Hairline lowering and Hair transplant.

If you have a broad forehead that prefers to reduce much more than 3 cm, you cannot perform only hairline lowering. Another alternative procedure might be hair transplantation. Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers a combination of hairline lowering and hair transplants.

The limitation of hairline lowering is as follows:

The maximum of pull-down is approximately 2 cm. Maybe not enough for some patients’ needs
Hairline lowering surgery will have a scar on the edge of the hairline
Some people with dark skin are more noticeable shedding color on incision scar
Hairline lowering cannot create a beautiful facial frame

The limitation of hair transplant is as follows:

It may take a year to see the complete result
The operation time of a hair transplant takes many hours on local anesthesia, and they will feel uncomfortable during the operation
The number of hair grafts is not more than 4,000 grafts each time. It can reduce the forehead width by around 1.5-2 cm, depending on the hair graft density

The advantage of the combination of hairline lowering and the hair transplant is as follows:

The combination of hairline lowering and hair transplant can help with the limitation of each technique as well. This combination surgery will reduce the forehead width successfully by much more than 3.5 cm.
Sometimes, the hairline lowering cannot be pulled down to cover the bald side
A hair transplant will full fill the hairless area
A hair transplant can design the facial frame to be a feminine or masculine hairline. Make your face more natural look

Why both Hairline Lowering and Hair Transplantation Procedures are needed for some people?

Hairline lowering, also known as forehead reduction or hairline advancement, is a surgical procedure that is performed to lower the hairline by removing a strip of skin from the forehead. This procedure is typically done in conjunction with a hair transplant to create a natural-looking hairline and to fill in any bald or thinning areas.

Some people may require hairline lowering in addition to a hair transplant due to a high forehead or a naturally high hairline that they wish to lower for cosmetic reasons. In some cases, individuals may have had previous hair loss or balding that resulted in a receding hairline, and they want to restore a more youthful and natural hairline. Additionally, some people may have had a previous hair transplant procedure that did not achieve the desired results, and so they opt for hairline lowering to correct any issues and achieve a more satisfactory outcome.

What are the reasons for undergoing a Hairline Lowering Surgery?

Some of the common reasons why people may choose to undergo hairline-lowering surgery include:

Aesthetics: A high hairline can be considered unattractive and can be a source of self-consciousness for some people. Lowering the hairline can create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Genetics: Some people are born with a high hairline that is considered to be genetic. Hairline-lowering surgery can help to correct this condition.
Previous surgical mistakes: In some cases, a high hairline may be the result of a previous hair transplant or other surgical procedure. Hairline-lowering surgery can be used to correct the problem and create a more natural-looking hairline.
High forehead: A high forehead can make the face appear disproportionate. Hairline-lowering surgery can reduce the size of the forehead and create a more balanced appearance.
Correction of a receded hairline: A receded hairline can be corrected with hair transplant surgery and hairline lowering can give a more natural look to the transplanted hair.

It’s important to note that hairline-lowering surgery is a serious procedure and should not be considered lightly. It is important to have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery and to consult with a qualified surgeon who has experience in this type of procedure.

What are the techniques used in Hairline Lowering Surgery? And what are they for Hair Transplant Surgery?

Hairline-lowering surgery is performed using one of two main techniques:

The Coronal Incision technique – In this method, a strip of skin is removed from the forehead, and the hair-bearing scalp is moved forward to fill the gap. This technique is best suited for people who have a high forehead or a receding hairline.
The Trichophytic Forehead Lift technique – This method is similar to the coronal incision technique, but the incision is made at the hairline, rather than on the forehead. This technique is less invasive and allows for a more natural-looking hairline.

In Hair transplant surgery, there are two main techniques:

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) – In this method, a strip of skin is removed from the back of the head (the donor area) and the individual hair follicles are harvested and transplanted to the balding or thinning areas (the recipient area).
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) – This method involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area using a specialized tool and transplanting them to the recipient area. This method is less invasive and allows for faster healing, but it is also more time-consuming and can be more expensive.

Both techniques are performed under local anesthesia, and with the help of a team of surgeon and nurses, the procedure is done. Both techniques have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of technique will depend on the individual’s specific needs and goals.

Chin Reduction / Genioplasty

Many people find their chins too big, small, full, or thin, which throws off their facial balance and negatively affects their overall looks and beauty. Ccial harmony by making the chin more proportionate to the overall face.

The chin reduction procedure adjusts the balance between the chin and the lower face, essential to obtain the desired aesthetics. The surgeon will create a chin and jawline. They must consider their options carefully to achieve a naturally attractive facial feature. Whether chin narrowing would suffice or mandible angle reduction is also needed to improve the size and shape of the chin.

Why Chin Reduction Surgery?

This procedure is a cosmetic surgery to reshape a chin. It can be performed on the lower jawline and chin area to improve the proportions of the face and to create beauty.

Advancement or moving the chin forward.
Pushback or moving chin backward.
Side to side, which can help asymmetric chin
Shortening or elongating of the chin

There are many possible types of procedures for chin reduction:

1. Chin reduction with mandible angle reduction.
2. Chin reduction without mandible angle reduction.
3. Chin reduction with T osteotomy technique or V. line surgery.

1. Chin Reduction with Mandible angle reduction

Chin reduction with mandible angle reduction is an aesthetic surgery to reduce the chin, jaw angle, and mandible. During a chin reduction surgery, the surgeon removes a part of the bone tissue that makes up the chin to enhance and balance the appearance of the lower jawline, chin, and neck. There is a range of techniques for this.

1.1 Chin reduction by resecting the angle of the chin bone is applicable where a patient has a small chin but is concerned only with the corner of the chin bone. After the surgery, the chin will appear curved as desired.

1.2 Chin reduction by resecting the bone from the chin angle to the middle of the mandible. This is applicable where the patient has a square and broad chin. The chin reduction starts from the middle of a mandible to balance a new lower jawline. This procedure is the most commonly performed technique for chin reduction.

1.3 Chin reduction by resecting (cutting) and shortening the chin bone is used where the patient has a long chin without too much projection. This procedure shaves the lower jaw bone to make it smaller, curved, and balanced.

1.4 Chin reduction by resecting (cutting) some bone all the way from the jaw to the chin to reduce the size. This technique is used for those with a wide jaw and broad chin. It improves the lower part of the face by making it appear shorter with a smaller & lower jawline. This is sometimes known as a horseshoe reduction.

2. Chin Reduction without Mandible angle reduction

A chin reduction alone is an aesthetic procedure for a chin that is too short or too long while leaving the jaw and mandibular untouched. The surgeon uses a saw to cut a small vertical line for reference, then slides the bone forward or backward and attaches screws and plate to ensure it stays in place. After the chin is adjusted forward or backward, bone shaving is possible.

2.1 Chin Forward Surgery

This procedure corrects a short chin by moving the chin bone forward, making the chin look more sharp and natural.

2.2 Chin Backwards Surgery

This procedure is a correction for those with a long chin. The chin bone is adjusted backward to make the long chin look smaller and more natural.

3. Chin Reduction by T-Osteotomy, V-Line surgery

This procedure achieves a V-shaped face with a balance between jaw and chin. It is especially useful in patients with a short chin and a broad face.

Post-operative care for Chin Reduction

Consume only liquids or soft food.
Regularly keep the oral cavity clean by using mouthwash.
Avoid smoking.
Do not perform strenuous activity for one month after the surgery.
Control pain as needed by taking painkillers.
It is usually possible to return to school or work two weeks after the surgery, and the wound heals within 4-8 weeks.

Risks and Complications for Chin Reduction

Chin reduction is a simple and safe procedure. However, infrequent risks and complications are as follows.

Bleeding
Infection
Nerve Injury
Pain after surgery
Some bone loss

Recovery after Chin Reduction

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Chin reduction takes two hours, and the patient will spend one night in the hospital. A seven-day recovery period should be taken before returning to work or school.

The Result of Chin Reduction

Most patients are delighted with the outcome. Swelling will be present and will reduce over the following months. There is a lot of skill in performing this surgery as the chin and jaw must be balanced with the rest of the face in order to achieve facial harmony and natural looks. Our Surgeons have done thousands of chin surgeries and have the adequate experience to get you the results you desire.

Chin Reduction: the key to a perfectly proportioned and balanced face.

Chin Reduction, also known as genioplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the chin to achieve a more proportionate and balanced facial appearance. Depending on the individual’s specific needs and desired outcome, the procedure can involve either reducing the size of the chin bone or adding to it.

Chin Reduction can significantly impact a person’s self-confidence and self-esteem, as it can improve the overall appearance of the face and help achieve a more proportionate and balanced look.

‘A well-proportioned and balanced face is characterized by symmetry and harmony between facial features. The chin plays a crucial role in this balance, as it is the lowermost feature of the face and can greatly affect the overall appearance of the jawline and neck. A receding chin or a chin that is too prominent can make the face appear imbalanced and disproportionate.’

At Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality care and services. Our team of experienced plastic surgeons specializes in Chin Reduction and will work closely with you to understand your unique needs and goals and help you achieve the look you desire.

Forehead Lift / Brow Lift

Forehead Lift / Brow lift / Temporal Lift

Forehead lift, Brow lift, and Temporal lift’s are cosmetic surgeries to improve frown lines, vertical creases, crows feet and sagging eyebrows that develop with age. The procedures are permanent and offer significantly better and long term cheaper results than expensive short lasting Botox treatments. These procedures significantly restore facial youthfulness and can take years off ones apperance.

There are four methods to perform forehead, eyebrow, and temporal lift as follows:

Traditional forehead lift / brow lift
Endoscopic forehead lift / brow lift
Direct brow lift
Temporal lift

1. Traditional Forehead Lift / Brow lift

Forehead tissue and skin are moved up into the new position and muscles in the area are relaxed to correct deep frown lines. Excess tissue is cut away. The incision is located behind the frontal hairline from ear to ear so there is no visible scar.

The operation takes 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Recovery time is one week after surgery.

2. Endoscope Forehead Lift / Brow lift

The endoscopic brow lift differs from the traditional forehead lift in that it’s a minimally invasive surgery. 4 tiny incisions are made behind the hairline then an endoscope is inserted into one of the incisions to view inside the forehead. Wrinkles on the forehead are eliminated and the position of the eyebrows is elevated.

The operation takes 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Recovery time is one week after surgery.

3. Direct Brow Lift

In cases where the forehead is quite high and the eyebrows are very close to the eyes, the surgeon makes an incision line as close as possible to the upper part of the eyebrow so the scar is practically invisible, then the excess skin is removed leaving the eyebrows in their new position. The direct brow quickly adjusts the shape and positioning of eyebrows. The only downside is a small scar.

4. Temporal Lift

The Temporal lift is a procedure that deals with the outer part of the eye such as crows feet, small wrinkles in the area and the brow being flat or slanted downwards.

The incision is above the ear, approximately 5 cm behind the hairline. The skin and the muscle covering one-third of the eyebrow are pulled up. Once the eyebrow curve is improved, the position is fixed with sutures.

The operation takes 1-2 hours under local anesthesia. Recovery time is one week after surgery.

Why Kamol Cosmetic Hospital is popular for Forehead Lift / Browlift / Temporal Lift?

The face is the first thing that people see, and for transgender individuals, having a feminine face can help them feel confident and protected from discrimination and bullying. Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is an important step in the process of treating discomfort due to a difference in gender identity and undergoing sex reassignment surgery. It helps individuals feel comfortable and safe. FFS is a range of procedures that alter the facial structure to appear more feminine, including forehead contouring, hairline lowering with hair transplantation, cheek augmentation or reduction, revision rhinoplasty, chin-to-jaw reduction, and a mid-face lift to remove excess skin caused by the destruction of facial bones. We offer various techniques for each procedure to suit each person’s unique anatomy and biological structure.

Facial surgery is the most artful of surgeries, and we believe that everyone is unique. Everyone needs different procedures. Kamol Hospital’s surgeons will analyze the overall face and facial parts such as the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, cheekbones, nose, chin, jaw, etc. They are highly mindful of aesthetics and will make artistic illustrations and plan the surgery by considering proportion, angle, and femininity in each facial part to achieve an attractive and harmonious appearance. Most of our clients are satisfied with the result. The result of FFS at Kamol Hospital is accepted as an attractive and harmonious feminine face, so it is recommended by many transgender individuals as one of the priorities for facial feminization surgery.

Forehead Augmentation / Forehead Implant

Forehead Augmentation Surgery

Women typically have curved, rounded, well-contoured foreheads and arching brows with little or no brow bones protruding. By comparison, men’s foreheads are generally broader and higher with a receding hairline. Men often have raised thicker brow bones located lower on the foreheads. People use the forehead more than you’d ever think to gender one and other subconsciously. It is one of the fundamental gender markers we use.

Forehead augmentation or forehead implant is a surgical procedure to enhance the shape and volume of the forehead via a fat graft or implant. There are numerous materials available to use for forehead augmentation.

Forehead augmentation materials:

There are many materials to enhance a forehead with a feminine look. The following procedures are available:

1. Fat Injection: The surgeon harvests fat tissue from various body parts, such as the stomach, thighs, and underarms. This fat is then injected into the forehead area to achieve the required look. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. The disadvantage of this method is that the injected fat will very likely be reabsorbed within 1-2 years.

2. Bone Cement: Materials such as Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) do not irritate or harm the body. This is the preferred material for this surgery as it’s stable, lasts forever, and is easily shaped. This procedure takes approximately 2-3 hours.

3. e-PTFE (Gore-Tex): This synthetic material triggers only minimal immune reaction from the body and can be placed inside the body as a vascular graft. e-PTFE is a porous material that allows our tissue to connect and grow into it after surgery, making the e-PTFE implant stable in its position. Other advantages are that e-PTFE is flexible, reliable, malleable, and easy to handle.

4. Silicone sheet: This material is not accessible because it is not flexible, and its shape is difficult to adjust. For surgeries involving bone cement (2) or e-PTFE (4), the surgeon will make an incision above the ear to ear behind the hairline and insert the material inside before closing the wound by stitching. These procedures create a sizable scar and may cause numbness lasting up to 3 to 6 months after the surgery. The duration of the operation is approximately 2 to 3 hours.

5. PMMA Customized Implant: Made from polymethyl methacrylate, this implant is designed specifically for each patient to correct its shape and size. This advanced technology offers excellent anatomical fit and contour, allowing surgeons to create exceptional cosmetic results. This procedure takes a shorter time compared to other methods. As the shape and size are uniquely designed for each patient, the risk of asymmetry is decreased significantly.

A Good Candidate for Forehead Augmentation

You have a narrow forehead.
You are healthy and have realistic expectations.
You know the risks of the procedures that you are considering.

Preparation for Forehead Augmentation

Consult with the highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon about the surgical goals, any existing medical conditions, risks, potential complications, and treatments.
The surgeons will evaluate your general health status based on blood tests, such as CBC, electrolyte, HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and chest X-ray.
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements, as they can increase bleeding and bruising for at least two weeks.
Stop smoking for at least two weeks.
Stop eating and drinking at least 6 hours before surgery.

Forehead Implant Procedure

Forehead implant surgery is usually performed by general anesthesia.
The incision line is made 1-2 cm behind the hairline. Through this incision, the surgeon creates space for the forehead implant and fits it over the forehead bone.
A forehead Implant typically takes 1 hour to perform. Following surgery, the incision will be sutured, and a compression bandage will cover the forehead.

Post-operative Recovery:

Avoid strenuous activity for three to four weeks.
Apply ice compresses to your forehead for 20 minutes at a time throughout the first few days of recovery to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Keep the head elevated for 1-2 weeks after surgery to reduce post-op swelling.
Have a selection of button-up shirts ready to wear during recovery to prevent irritating the scalp.
We will provide you with a compression garment, which you should wear as much as possible for at least two weeks to reduce swelling.

Risk and Complication:

When a highly-skilled and experienced cosmetic surgeon performs the forehead augmentation, forehead augmentation is associated with very few complications however, possible risks include:

Infection from fat graft or implant or incision area.
Hematoma (internal bleeding)
A shift in implant position (which can be fixed by screws)
Poor scarring.
Poor healing.
Bleeding.
Numbness within the forehead and scalp near the incision site. In most cases, it will recover within a few weeks.
Side effects from anesthesia

Recovery for Forehead Augmentation

You can return to work within 2 weeks. Avoid heavy exercise for at least one month. The appearance will be close to the final result within one month after surgery, and the final result will be seen around three months after surgery when residual swelling has gone.

Jaw Reduction

Jaw Reduction Surgery

The jawline significantly influences how we perceive gender. Men typically have wider, more prominent jaws, while women tend to have narrower, more delicate ones.

Jaw reduction surgery is often a key component of Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS), as it reshapes the jawline to create a slimmer, more feminine appearance. A skilled surgeon uses their expertise to reshape the jaw, chin, and mandible, thus creating a harmonious and feminine lower face.

The jaw is crucial in achieving an attractive V-line shape face. It shouldn’t be overly slim or broad; a gentle curve is ideal for an aesthetically pleasing result.

Choosing a Surgeon for Jaw Reduction

Jaw reduction is a complex procedure. As such, you must choose a surgeon who specializes in facial surgery, particularly FFS, as it demands a high level of skill and experience.

Make sure your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Maxillofacial Surgeon with extensive experience in facial bone surgery. This expertise minimizes risks like jawbone fractures, nerve damage, and loss of jaw function.

Preparing for Surgery

Consultation: Discuss your goals and expectations with the surgeon, and understand the potential risks and complications.
Medical Evaluation: Undergo a physical examination, which may include lab tests, a chest X-ray, a blood test, and an EKG if you are over 40 years old.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Stop smoking for at least two weeks before surgery. Discontinue anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, Motrin, or Ibuprofen, as well as any vitamins or herbs that may interfere with blood clotting, at least two weeks before the procedure.
Recovery Planning: Chewing will be difficult for up to a week after surgery. Prepare liquid foods, soups, and nutritional supplements to ensure adequate nutrition during your recovery.

Jaw Reduction Techniques at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital

Every individual has a unique facial structure. Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers seven distinct jaw reduction techniques to address this diversity:

Jaw Reduction Type 1: Removes the mandibular angle. Suitable for individuals with a prominent jaw angle but a well-proportioned lower mandible and chin.

Jaw Reduction Type 2: Reduces the posterior angle of the mandible. Ideal for those with a long and angled jaw.

Jaw Reduction Type 3: Reduces the mandible from the anterior to the posterior region. Suitable for individuals with square faces, broad chins, and strong jawlines.

Jaw Reduction Type 4: Reshapes the angle of the chin. Designed for those with a square chin.

Jaw Reduction Type 5: Reduces the length of the chin. Suitable for those with a square and broad chin.

Jaw Reduction Type 6: Reduces the sides and vertical portion of the chin. Ideal for individuals with broad and long chins.

Jaw Reduction Type 7: Reduces the posterior mandible from one side to the other. Suitable for those with broad, long chins and a prominent mandibular angle.

Ideal Candidates for Jaw Reduction

Individuals seeking to refine the lower face, jawline, chin, and mandible.
Those with a wide jaw and a round face.
Those with a long lower jaw.
Those with a flat lower jaw.
Individuals whose facial growth is complete.
Physically healthy individuals.
Non-smokers.
Individuals with realistic expectations who understand the risks and potential complications.

Preparing for Jaw Reduction

Consultation: Discuss suitable procedures and expected outcomes with your surgeon.
Medical Assessment: Complete a physical examination, blood test, chest X-ray, electrolyte panel, and HIV test.
Imaging: Undergo a CT scan for precise surgical planning.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol for at least one week before surgery.
Medication Review: Stop taking medications, vitamins, or herbs that can interfere with blood clotting, such as aspirin.

Jaw Reduction Procedure

The operation typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. The procedure involves:

Anesthesia: Administered under general anesthesia.
Incision: An intraoral incision (inside the mouth) is used to minimize visible scarring.
Bone Resection: Excess bone, muscle, and/or fat is carefully removed.

Postoperative Care

Proper postoperative care is essential for optimal healing:

Oral Hygiene: Use mouthwash frequently to prevent infection.
Swelling Management: Keep your head elevated to minimize swelling.
Compression: Wear the provided compression bandage continuously for three days and during sleep for one month.
Activity Restriction: Avoid strenuous activities for one month after surgery.
Dietary Guidelines: Avoid alcohol for at least two weeks after surgery.
Follow-up: Attend all follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns.

You can typically return to work within 7-10 days after surgery, although some residual swelling may persist. Exercise can usually be resumed after four weeks.

Risks and Complications

While generally safe, jaw reduction surgery carries potential risks, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, bruising, swelling, injury to surrounding tissues, nerves, or blood vessels, and allergic reactions to anesthesia. Specific risks associated with this procedure include:

Numbness or decreased skin sensation in the surgical area.
Tightness when opening the mouth.
Zygomatic arch fracture.
Zygomatic bone instability or malposition.
In rare cases, revision surgery may be necessary.

Jaw Reduction Surgery Results

The results of jaw reduction surgery are permanent. Post-surgical swelling is common and will gradually subside. It may take several days before you can remove the compression bandage and fully appreciate the results.

As the swelling subsides over several months, the refined contours of your new jawline will become increasingly visible.

Why Jawline can identify gender?

The shape of a jawline plays a significant role in how we perceive a person’s gender. A strong, defined jawline is often considered masculine, while a softer, less defined jawline is perceived as feminine.

‘This perception is heavily influenced by societal norms and gender stereotypes ingrained in our culture over time.’

A masculine jawline is typically characterized by a square or rectangular shape with a sharp angle at the jawline. This shape is often associated with strength, power, and masculinity. Men with a strong jawline are usually perceived as more confident and assertive, which are traits traditionally associated with masculinity.
A feminine jawline is typically characterized by a softer, rounder shape with a more gradual angle at the jawline. This shape is often associated with delicate features, femininity, and beauty. Women with a softer jawline are usually perceived as more delicate and feminine, which aligns with traditional gender norms.

‘Gender identity and physical characteristics are two different things; gender identity is an inner feeling and understanding of oneself as male, female, neither, or a combination of male/female; it’s not based on physical characteristics.’

In conclusion, a jawline’s shape impacts perceptions of gender, but it is not a definitive indicator of a person’s gender. Society’s gender norms and stereotypes play a significant role in shaping these perceptions, and it’s essential to recognize that not all individuals conform to these traditional perceptions.

At Kamol Cosmetic Hospital: We are committed to providing inclusive and respectful care for all patients, regardless of their gender identity or physical characteristics.

We recognize that some individuals may wish to alter their jawline shape to align more closely with their gender identity or personal preferences. Our team of experts in plastic and reconstructive surgery can help patients achieve their desired jawline shape using various techniques, such as jaw reduction surgery, jaw augmentation, or facial feminization surgery.

We understand these decisions can be complex and emotional, and we work closely with our patients to understand their goals and desires. We provide personalized care and support to ensure our patients feel comfortable and confident.

Corrective Jaw Surgery

Corrective Jaw Surgery, Mandibular Osteotomy in Bangkok, Thailand

Corrective jaw surgery is a surgical procedure to correct irregularities of the jaw bones and adjust the jaws and teeth to improve how they work. Making these corrections may also improve the patient’s facial appearance. This procedure requires collaboration between an orthodontist and a maxillofacial (jaw and face) surgeon to plan your treatment before surgery and during recovery until healing is complete. Corrective jaw surgery is appropriate after growth stops, usually around the age of 16-17 years old.

A Good Candidate for Corrective Jaw Surgery

People who have some problems and want to improve both aesthetics and functions of the jaw and teeth as follows;

Chewing or biting
Swallowing, speaking, and breathing
Minimize broken teeth
The open bits
Unbalance the facial feature
The ability of the lips to fully close comfortably
Pain caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
Relief for obstructive sleep apnea

Corrective Jaw Surgery Preparation

An orthodontist prepares the teeth before surgery by bracing them. This phase usually takes 12 to 18 months before surgery to adjust the level and alignment of the teeth. The orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeons work to develop a treatment plan involving X-rays, pictures, and models of the teeth’ movement.

Corrective Jaw Surgery Correction

The procedure is usually performed intraorally. Incision scars show on the chin, jaw, or around the mouth. The surgeon cuts the jawbones and moves them into the correct position. Once your jaw movement is completed, the miniplate and screws, wires, and rubber bands may be used to secure the bones into their new location. Jaw surgery may be performed on the upper jaw, lower jaw, chin, or any combination.

Upper Mandibular Osteotomy

Upper jaw surgery may be performed to correct the following problems:

Significantly receded or protruding upper jaw
Crossbite
Too much or too little of the teeth showing
Open bite
Reduced facial growth in the middle of the face.

The surgeon cuts the upper jaw so it moves as one unit. The jaw and upper teeth move forward or backward until they fit correctly with the lower teeth. The surgeon then fixes by using plates and screws to hold the bone in the new position, then shaves or removes the excess bone.

Lower Mandibular Osteotomy

Lower jaw surgery may be performed to correct the following problems:

Receding lower jaw
Protruding lower jaw

The surgeon cuts behind the molars and lengthwise down the jawbone so the front of the jaw can move as one unit. The jaw can be moved to its new position, either forward or backward. Plates and screws hold the jawbone together as it heals.

Postoperative Care

After surgery, you will provide guidance and instructions. These usually include:

What you can eat
Oral hygiene
Avoiding tobacco
Avoiding strenuous activity
Medications to control pain
When to return to work or school, which is generally in1-3 weeks

Jaw healing takes about six weeks after surgery, but complete healing can take up to 12 weeks.

Risks and complication

Corrective Jaw Surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon in collaboration with an orthodontist. Risks and complications of the surgery, however, may include:

Blood loss
Infection
Nerve injury
Jaw fracture
Relapse of the jaw to the original position
Problems with bite fit and jaw joint pain
Need for a second surgery
Need for root canal therapy on selected teeth
Loss of a portion of the jaw

Results

Correcting the alignment of your jaws and teeth with jaw surgery can result in:

The balanced appearance of your lower face
Improved function of your teeth
Health benefits from improved sleep, breathing, chewing and swallowing
Improvement in speech
Improved appearance

Restoration of facial fat with fat transfer

A Good Candidate for Facelift

Aging face
Healthy for under sedation or general anesthesia
Positive outlook and realistic expectations

Preparation for Facelift Surgery

After consultations with the surgeons and agreeing to proceed with the surgery, the preparation of the facelift will be as the following steps;

Stop smoking for at least two weeks before surgery
Stop Aspirin or any medications that interfere with coagulation
Physical examination and medical history. The surgeons will require the patient’s medical records. Most patients aged 40 and above need to consult with medical doctors and cardiologists regarding any possibility of heart complications, as this will be necessary when administering anesthesia
Facial examination and facial profile analysis
Before the procedure, hair wash with germicidal soap
Confirmation of expectations, as the patient should ask any questions they still have regarding the outcome of a facelift, such as an effect on fine wrinkles or symmetry of the face

Procedure for Facelift

This procedure requires general anesthesia, though sometimes local anesthesia and sedation are possible. A facelift procedure takes approximately 2-4 hours. As the face, eyes, and neck work together to create an overall facial appearance, it usually combines face and neck procedures to achieve each person’s goals.

At Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, we offer six facelifts and associated procedures for those who seek to restore youthfulness to their appearance.

1. Mini- facelift / Mid facelift

This procedure involves two incisions; the first is a simple skin incision at the temporal hairline, down to the front of the ears, and ends at the earlobe. It is a standard facelift procedure that is still in use today. This operation tightens excess skin and relies entirely on tension to shift the underlying facial soft tissue. The second incision is near the lower eyelash. In this area, the excess skin will be reduced to balance for lifting and tightening the cheek muscles. This procedure suits patients with excess skin and minimal deep, soft skin ptosis.

This procedure takes around 2 hours under sedation or general anesthesia.

2. Full Facelift with SMAS

Our plastic surgeons perform the subcutaneous Facelift with a separate SMAS Flap and SMAS-ectomy. The incision starts from the temporal hairline, down to the front of the ears, and ends behind the ears. Then, the SMAS is pulled upward and backward as tightly as possible. Underlying muscles might tighten, and subcutaneous soft tissue and skin will move following the SMAS flap. The skin is then resected to remove the excess skin. This facelift surgery is a more effective technique with longer-lasting results.

This procedure is suitable for patients who have a lot of excesses and sagging skin facial muscle ptosis to remove and restore a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance to their face.

This procedure takes around 3-4 hours under sedation or general anesthesia.

3. Facelift with synthetic absorbable materials

We provide a facelift by deep muscle suspension with synthetic absorbable ribbon (Endotine®). The incision is in front of the ear up to the temporal area. Endotine® will be absorbable within six months. This procedure can enhance cheek volume and projection for a natural, rejuvenated look. The patient may feel some discomfort a few months after surgery.

This procedure suits patients with midface (inner face) ptosis or who need more cheek volume and minimal ptosis of deep, soft skin.

This procedure takes around 2 hours under sedation or general anesthesia.

4. Neck Lift / Neck Tuck

This procedure helps someone with a thick, wrinkled, or sagging neck. The surgeons will perform one or both methods together. Neck tuck is a procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision under the chin-neck line and carefully lifts and tightens loose neck muscles (Platysmaplasty). An incision of a neck lift is behind each ear, and a longer incision may also be made to stretch the neck muscle by SMAS. And underlying tissues and remove excess, sagging skin to restore a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance to the neck. This procedure is usually performed with a complete facelift.

This procedure takes around 2-4 hours under sedation or general anesthesia.

5. Forehead lift/ Browlift

A brow lift is repositioning an eyebrow to achieve a more youthful appearance. The incision scar is behind the hairline by 1-2 cm. There are three types of brow lift as follows:

An endoscopic brow lift, which results in a minimal scar
A temporal or limited brow lift, where incisions are at the temporal area, both correct and left
The classic brow lift, where a long incision is made horizontally behind the hairline. (See More)

6. Facial restoration with fat transfer.

Fat transfer as a micrograft or nano-graft supports particular areas that need contouring and fulfillment. This procedure is suitable for patients with a slimmer face and loose fat who have undergone facelift surgery with unsatisfactory results due to the lack of volume. Some patients may need more procedures to achieve a desired youthful look. Experienced surgeons can recommend the best options, though the final decision remains at the patient’s
discretion.

This procedure takes around 1-2 hours under sedation or general anesthesia.

Postoperative Care for Facelift

Keep the face elevated as much as possible to reduce swelling
Gentle movement to support blood circulation
Wear a compression bandage at all times for the first three days and then at home while sleeping for one month
Avoid aggressive or strenuous activities for one month after surgery
Stop smoking or drinking alcohol for at least two weeks after surgery
Sutures are removed around 5-10 days after surgery
Keep any follow-up appointments with your surgeon to check the healing process and ask any questions that may concern you
Follow all postoperative instructions and attend all postoperative appointments

Risks and Complications for Facelift Surgery

Facelift complications will be managed with the proper care, medication, or surgical correction. The risks include:

Postoperative hematoma under the skin
Scarring. Incision scars from a facelift are permanent but typically will be hidden under the hair. It is rare for the incision to become a red, raised scar. Injection of steroids or other treatments will be used to improve the appearance.
Nerve injury and sensory nerve damage, although the effects are self-limiting, usually recover within 6-12 months.
Skin loss, though very rare, could still happen. Facelift surgery may interrupt the blood supply, possibly resulting in partial skin necrosis and delayed healing.
The other risks and complications are similar to those of other major surgeries, including side effects from anesthesia. Lifestyle and preexisting medical conditions may increase risks.

Recovery from Facelift Surgery

After surgery for a few days, Bruising, swelling, hypersensitivity, and numbness will make you uncomfortable.
The face and neck will improve after a few weeks, and then a gentle massage will be begun to stimulate the nerve and lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and recovery period.
You can return to work 14 days after surgery, but some swelling may still occur.
You start exercise four weeks after surgery.
The final result takes 6 – 12 months.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is performed to refine the nose’s shape, size, and structure. The procedure can:

Smooth or reduce a hump
Adjust the bridge height
Refine or lift the nasal tip
Narrow or reshape the nostrils
Improve symmetry
Correct functional issues such as a deviated septum

Each procedure is customized based on facial proportions and the patient’s aesthetic goals.

How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?

Rhinoplasty is a fully customised procedure, so the cost can vary depending on your goals and the surgical approach required. Instead of a fixed fee, pricing is determined after a detailed consultation, where your surgeon evaluates the structure of your nose, any functional concerns, and the degree of reshaping you’re looking for. Because every nose is unique, each treatment plan is tailored accordingly—reflecting the complexity and precision involved.

At Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, several factors can influence the overall cost of rhinoplasty, including:

Procedure complexity– Minor refinements differ from more advanced structural corrections or combined functional work.
Surgical technique– Open or closed rhinoplasty, use of cartilage grafts, implants, or specialised structural support.
Surgeon expertise– Rhinoplasty requires exceptional precision, and results depend heavily on the surgeon’s skill and experience.
Hospital, operating theatre, and anesthesia fees– These support a safe, accredited surgical environment.
Post-operative care – Follow-up visits, recovery support, and any required medications or dressings.

Because rhinoplasty is so personalised, the most accurate way to understand how much your rhinoplasty will cost is through a consultation. Your surgeon will assess your facial proportions, review your goals, and provide a clear, customised cost breakdown based on your recommended treatment plan.

Rhinoplasty Techniques

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers a full range of rhinoplasty approaches. Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable technique depending on your goals.

Jaw Augmentation / Jaw Implant

Jaw Augmentation, Jaw Implant, Mandibular Augmentation:

In recent times, stronger jawlines have been sought because a strong natural jawline looks healthy and attractive in men and women. A strong jawline makes the face more masculine, while conversely, a less defined jawline appears feminine. Sometimes, women with a weak jawline want to be more balanced and defined. Some famous actresses like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have very strong natural jawlines.

Material for Jaw Augmentation:

Silicone
PMMA Customized implant

A Good Candidate for Jaw Augmentation

Men who have a narrow jaw.
Women with a weak jawline.
Healthy people.
Those with realistic expectations

Preparation for Jaw Augmentation

Physical examination or lab tests, chest X-ray, blood test, and EKG if you are over 40 years old.
Stop smoking at least two weeks before surgery.
Stop taking any anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen Vitamins, or herbs that interfere with blood clotting at least two weeks before surgery.
Plan for your recovery. Chewing will be difficult for up to a week after surgery. You should have some soup, liquid food, and meal supplements prepared.

Jaw Augmentation Procedure:

The patient is given a general anesthetic.
Internal incisions are usually made directly inside the mouth on either side of the lower lip, meaning there is no external scar.
A pocket is created that will hold the implant for an improved contour and a more defined jawline; the patient’s implant is placed directly on the jawbone and fixed with titanium screws.
Stitches are absorbable and dissolve within a few weeks.
The procedure takes 1 – 2 hours.

Postoperative care

It is essential to take good care to prevent infection by using mouthwash often,
Keep the face elevated as much as possible to reduce swelling,
Gentle movement to support blood circulation,
Wearing a compression bandage at all times for three days and when sleeping for one month.
Avoid aggressive activities for a month after surgery
Liquid diet 24-48 hours after surgery; soft diet should have after surgery a week
Stop smoking or drinking alcohol for at least two weeks after surgery
Keep any follow-up appointments with your surgeon to check the healing process and ask any questions that may concern you
Stitches are taken off seven days after surgery, whereas absorbable sutures are used in the mouth

Risks and complications:

There might be a possibility of

Pain for 2-4 weeks
Limitation of open mouth
Hematoma
Seroma
The numbness caused by nerve damage
Hyperpigmentation
Implant shifting (where a second operation may be required)
Asymmetry
Gradual loss or breakdown of the bones.
Capsular contracture.

Recovery:

During the first few weeks following the surgery, chewing, smiling, and talking might be uncomfortable. Patients can return to work about one week after the surgery, but swelling may still occur. You can resume exercising four weeks after surgery. You must avoid strenuous activities for about 6-8 weeks. The final result can be seen in around 3-6 months.

Why Jawline can identify gender?

‘This perception is heavily influenced by societal norms and gender stereotypes that have been ingrained in our culture over time.’

A masculine jawline is typically characterized by a square or rectangular shape with a sharp angle at the jawline. This shape is often associated with strength, power, and masculinity. Men with a strong jawline are usually perceived as more confident and assertive, which are traits traditionally associated with masculinity.
A feminine jawline is typically characterized by a softer, rounder shape with a more gradual angle at the jawline. This shape is often associated with delicate features, femininity, and beauty. Women with a softer jawline are usually perceived as more delicate and feminine, which aligns with traditional gender norms.

‘Gender identity and physical characteristics are two different things; gender identity is an inner feeling and understanding of oneself as male, female, neither, or a combination of male/female; it’s not based on physical characteristics.’

In conclusion, a jawline’s shape impacts perceptions of gender but is not a definitive indicator of a person’s gender. Society’s gender norms and stereotypes play a significant role in shaping these perceptions, and it’s essential to recognize that not all individuals conform to these traditional perceptions.

At Kamol Cosmetic Hospital: We are committed to providing inclusive and respectful care for all patients, regardless of their gender identity or physical characteristics. We understand that everyone’s experience of gender is unique and personal, and we strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all individuals.

Cheekbone Reduction / Zygoma Reduction

Cheekbone Reduction, Zygoma Reduction

If the cheekbones are high and excessively prominent, this may cause a wide face and reduce attractiveness. Cheekbone reduction may be considered a surgical procedure to reshape prominent cheekbones and reduce facial width to achieve a more beautiful, balanced, and attractive face.

A Good Candidate for Cheekbone Reduction

Patients with excessively prominent front cheekbones, broad cheekbones, and disproportionate or unbalanced facial structures benefit the most from Cheekbone reduction. The surgery can remove or correct bone protrusions, making the facial line look sleeker, slimmer, softer, and much more attractive.

Preparation before surgery

You’ll be able to consult with the surgeon to discuss your goals and how to best achieve them.

Physical examination includes a blood test and chest X-ray. If the patient is over 40 years old, an ECG will be required to assess the risk of a heart condition.
Facial X-ray to analyze the facial structure and choose the most suitable technique.
Stop smoking at least two weeks before surgery.
Stop taking any anti-inflammatory medications such as Aspirin or ibuprofen for at least two weeks. Avoid herbal supplements and vitamins, which may increase bleeding during and after surgery.

Cheekbone – Zygomatic Reduction surgery

Our technique is an L-shaped osteotomy or two-site osteotomy and rotation method. This procedure involves two-incision scars. One is intra-oral for the zygomatic body, and the other is in front of the ear behind the sideburn for the zygomatic arch. The incision is small to minimize the scar.

In the frontal site osteotomy, the zygomatic body is to be cut into an L-shape, and the back-site osteotomy (posterior osteotomy) means that the zygomatic arch is cut. The cheekbone must be rotated inwardly and fixed by a mini-titanium plate and screws to prevent further bone movement. The surgeon creates a smooth step of the bone. The intra-oral incision will be closed using an absorbable suture. The external incision is closed with fine sutures.

The cheekbone reduction procedure takes 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Hospitalization requires 1- 2 nights.

Risks and Complications for Cheekbone Reduction

Cheekbone reduction, like other facial reduction procedures, is low risk; however, the risks associated with it are:

Numbness
Decreased skin sensation over the surgical area
Asymmetry cheekbones
Tightness when opening the mouth
Zygomatic arch fracture
Unstable zygomatic bone
Zygomatic bone and arch malposition after surgery
Revision surgery may be required

Post-operative Care for Cheekbone Reduction

It is important to take good care to prevent infection by frequently using mouthwash. Keep the face elevated as much as possible to reduce swelling, and wear the compression bandage provided at all times for three days and when sleeping for one month.

Avoid aggressive activities for a month after surgery.
Stop smoking or drinking alcohol for at least two weeks after surgery.
Keep any follow-up appointments with your surgeon to check the healing process and ask any questions you may have.
Dissolvable stitches are used in the mouth, and external stitches, if used, are removed after 7 days.

You can return to work 7-10 days after surgery, but swelling may still occur. You can resume exercising four weeks after surgery.

How does a Zygoma Reduction contribute to creating a V-shaped face?

Zygoma Reduction, also known as Zygomatic Reduction or Cheekbone Reduction, is a surgical procedure that involves reducing the size of the cheekbones to create a more aesthetically pleasing facial structure.

‘The procedure is commonly performed as part of a V-shaped face reshaping surgery to give the face a more defined, angular appearance.’

The V-shaped face is a popular trend in cosmetic surgery. It is defined by a sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and a tapered face. V-shaped face surgery aims to create a more youthful, defined, and attractive facial appearance by reducing the size of the cheekbones and reshaping the jawline.

‘Zygoma Reduction is an important component of the V-shaped face surgery as it reduces the size of the cheekbones and creates a more defined, angular appearance.’

The Zygoma Reduction procedure involves incisions made inside the mouth or through the hairline. The surgeon then reduces the size of the cheekbone by removing a portion of the zygomatic arch or reshaping it. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-3 hours to complete.

One of the main benefits of Zygoma Reduction is that it can create a more balanced facial structure. By reducing the size of the cheekbones, the surgeon can create a more defined and angular appearance, which can improve the overall harmony of the face. The procedure can also enhance the appearance of the eyes, as the cheekbones no longer dominate the facial structure.
Zygoma Reduction can also provide significant cosmetic benefits to those unhappy with their cheekbones’ appearance. The procedure can be used to correct asymmetrical cheekbones, reduce the size of overly prominent cheekbones, or create a more defined, angular appearance.

In conclusion,

Zygoma Reduction is an important component of V-shaped face surgery as it reduces the size of the cheekbones and creates a more defined, angular appearance. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can provide significant cosmetic benefits to those unhappy with their cheekbones’ appearance. If you are considering V-shaped face surgery, discussing your options with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon is important to determine if Zygoma Reduction is right for you.

Chin Augmentation / Chin Implant

Chin Enhancement / Chin Implant Surgery / Chin Augmentation

The proportions of the chin and jawline are fundamental to a balanced and attractive face. For those with a weak jawline, chin enhancement is a surgical procedure to make the chin more prominent and attractive. It is a perfect surgery to do for transgender patients as male and female chins are quite different. Men’s chins are often relatively wide, thick, and flat compared to women’s chins, which tend to be narrower, more pointed, and curved. We offer the following procedures for chin implants:

Material for chin Implant

Silicone
Gore-Tex (e-PTFE)
Med pore
PMMA Customized implant

A Good Candidate for Chin Enhancement

You may be the right candidate if you want

To Improve facial harmony and improve overall looks and beauty.
To correct a weak or recessed chin.
To improve the prominence of the neck and jawline.
To reduce the appearance of a complete or double chin caused by a small chin bone.

Preparation for Chin Implant Surgery / Chin forward sliding.

Proper preparation for chin implant surgery or chin forward sliding will result in a good result with fewer complications and recovery time. You should consult your surgeon about the goal you have achieved.

Physical examination or lab tests, chest X-ray, blood test, and EKG if you are over 40 years old to confirm you are healthy.
Stop smoking for at least two weeks before surgery
Stop taking any anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, Ibuprofen Vitamins, or herbs that interfere with blood clotting at least two weeks before surgery
Plan for your recovery. Chewing will be difficult for up to a week after surgery. You should have some soup and liquid food available.

Chin Enhancement

Chin enhancement creates a well-proportioned and balanced look for the face. There are many procedures for chin advancement, but the two most popular ones are:

Enhancement with chin implant surgery.
Enhancement by chin forward sliding.

Incision of Chin Enhancement:

Inside the mouth –The scar is hidden.
Underneath the chin. It is less popular because the scar is visible.

1. Procedure for Chin Implant Surgery

Chin implant is a popular procedure for patients who require little to medium augmentation with a height not exceeding 0.5 cm (5 mm). Chin implants are a simple surgery. They take around 45 minutes under local anesthesia. The patient may leave immediately after the surgery. If the patient needs an extensive chin implant, general anesthesia is usually preferred, as the surgeon has to fix screws to prevent the implant from moving. The patient will be required to stay for one night in the hospital.

2. Chin forward sliding

This procedure is available for patients with an extremely short chin. The surgery extends the jaw forward. This procedure takes about 2 hours under general anesthesia. The patient is required to stay one night in the hospital. The recovery period is about 2 to 3 weeks.

Postoperative care

Only consume liquid food for the first 24 hours after surgery and soft food for one week.
Keep the oral cavity clean by using mouthwash.
Elevate your head to decrease the swelling for the first week after surgery.
Avoid smoking.
To decrease swelling, wear the supplied facial compression garment 24 hours a day for the first few days following surgery and then for a further week after surgery.
Avoid strenuous activity for one month after the surgery.
It is usually possible to return to school or work one week after the surgery, and the wound heals within 4-8 weeks.

Risks and Complications for Chin Implant Surgery / Chin Forward Sliding

Chin implant and chin forward sliding are safe and straightforward procedures, providing highly qualified surgeons perform them. Although exceptionally rare, risks and complications include the following:

Bleeding
Infection
Nerve Injury
Pain after surgery
Some bone loss
Asymmetry
Scarring if the incision scars underneath
Unsatisfied with the result.
The risk from general anesthesia

Recovery for Chin Implant Surgery / Chin Forward Sliding

The procedure itself takes one to two hours, and the patient will then spend one night in the hospital. One to two weeks after the surgery, it is usually possible to go back to school or work, and the wound will completely heal within 1-2 months.

The result from Chin Implant Surgery / Chin Forward Sliding

Most patients are satisfied with the outcome. There are many types of chin enhancement procedures, though all of them involve operating on the lower jawline and chin area to improve facial proportions. In any case, it is essential to consider other parts of the face, including the jaw, cheeks, and forehead, to ensure a balanced look and harmony.

Achieving Facial Harmony and Symmetrical Proportions through Chin Implant Procedures:

A chin implant, also known as a genioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that can significantly enhance the face’s overall appearance by creating better proportions and harmony.

One of the most important aspects of facial aesthetics is balance and symmetry. When the chin is underdeveloped or recessed, it can throw off the balance of the entire face, making the nose appear more prominent and the jawline less defined. This can make a person look out of proportion and be a source of insecurity and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance.

Procedure:

‘A chin implant is a simple and effective solution for addressing this issue. The procedure involves making a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth and placing a small silicone implant into the chin to create a more prominent and defined jawline. The implant is then secured, and the incision is closed.’

Benefits:

The benefits of a chin implant are numerous. It can help create a more defined jawline and a stronger chin, which can help make the nose appear smaller and more in proportion to the rest of the face. The chin is now in better proportion with the rest of the face, helping to create a more harmonious and balanced appearance.
a stronger chin can also help create a more youthful appearance, as a recessed or underdeveloped chin can make a person look older.
Moreover, chin implant surgery is considered a safe and effective procedure with a high patient satisfaction rate. It is performed under general or local anesthesia; recovery time is usually less than a week.

In summary,

A chin implant is a powerful tool for creating better facial proportions and harmony. It can help to create a more defined jawline, a stronger chin, and a more balanced and youthful appearance. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your chin and would like to explore this option, you should consult a qualified plastic surgeon who can help you determine whether a chin implant is right for you.

Cheekbone Augmentation / Cheek Implant

Cheekbone Augmentation

High cheekbones are a universal symbol of attraction and beauty across most cultures. Cheek Augmentation and Cheek implants are cosmetic surgical procedures that enhance the cheeks, making your face beautiful, youthful, balanced, and attractive. There are many techniques for cheek enhancement, such as solid implants or injections of filler or your own fat.

Despite some differences in women’s cheekbones, it is possible to alter the appearance of men’s cheekbones to achieve a more feminine look. Men’s cheekbones tend to be low, rectangular, and flat, whereas the softer and curvier features of women’s cheekbones create glow and radiance.

There are many materials for Cheek Implant surgery, including:

Silicone
Gore-tex (e-PTFE)
Medpore
Alloderm
PMMA (Customized Implant)
Filler

A Good Candidate for Cheek Implant

Has flat cheeks that need more definition and fullness.

Physical examination and lab test.
Avoid medications containing aspirin or ibuprofen for two weeks before and after surgery, as these medications may increase bleeding. Avoid herbal remedies and over-the-counter supplements.
Stop smoking and drinking alcohol for 2 weeks before the surgery and weeks after the surgery, as smoking seriously impairs healing.

Cheek Implants Procedure

The surgeon usually makes the incision in the upper mouth near the top of the gum line and slides the implants into place. Another technique is to make an external incision near the lower eye, but most patients do not choose this method since it can create a visible scar. Cheek implant surgery is usually performed under sedation or general anesthetic and takes about one to two hours. The patient may stay one night at the hospital after the surgery. The recovery period is around one week.

Risks and Complications for Cheekbone Augmentation:

While rare, the following are associated with cheek implant surgery:

Infection
Poor Healing
Hematoma
Risk from Anesthesia
Swelling
Numbness
Skin Discoloration
Scaring
Fat Loss
Cheek Implant Displacement
Pain
Poor Aesthetic Result

Post-operative Care for Cheekbone Augmentation

Elevate your head and apply the ice pack to decrease bleeding and swelling.
Use a facial bandage (provided) to reduce swelling.
Eat a soft diet.
Use mouthwash often for the first week to keep clean and prevent infection.
Follow-up consultations with the surgeon.

High Cheekbones: Are they a sign of Beauty?

High cheekbones have been considered a hallmark of beauty and physical attraction for centuries and continue to be desirable today. Many believe that high cheekbones indicate good health and genetic fitness, making them attractive qualities in a potential partner.

The cheekbones, also known as the zygomatic bones, are a key feature of the human face. They are located at the top of the cheek and form the highest point of the cheekbones when you look at someone from the front.

‘High cheekbones are characterized by a prominent and elevated appearance, creating a sharp angle along the cheekbone. This feature is often associated with a youthful, healthy, attractive appearance.’

One of the reasons high cheekbones are seen as attractive is that they tend to be associated with a symmetrical face. Symmetry is important in physical beauty and attraction, indicating good health and genetic quality. In contrast, asymmetry is often seen as a sign of poor health or genetic quality and can be viewed as less attractive.
Another reason high cheekbones are seen as attractive is that they create a more defined and contoured appearance to the face. This can make a person look more confident, expressive, and dynamic, enhancing their physical appearance. In addition, high cheekbones are often associated with a slim and sculpted facial structure, which can make a person look more elegant and refined.

‘In some cultures, high cheekbones are also seen as a sign of ethnic or racial beauty. For example, high cheekbones are often considered desirable in indigenous cultures and featured prominently in traditional beauty standards.’

This has led to cosmetic procedures and treatments designed to enhance or augment the cheekbones, such as cheek fillers, cheek implants, and cheekbone contouring surgery.

In conclusion,

Many people consider high cheekbones a sign of beauty and physical attraction. They symbolize good health and genetic fitness, a hallmark of symmetry, contoured facial structure, and cultural beauty. Whether or not high cheekbones are attractive is a matter of personal preference, but there is no denying that they continue to be seen as desirable physical traits.

Foxy Eye Surgery

Cat Eyes, Foxy Eyes

The “cat eyes” or “foxy eyes” procedure is a cosmetic eyelid surgery designed to create a more defined and lifted appearance in the outer corners of the eyes. It is similar to an eyelift but focuses specifically on these corners and is intended to give the eyes a more “cat-like” or “fox-like” appearance.

The procedure can be combined with other eyelid surgery procedures, such as blepharoplasty or brow lift. Recovery time may vary depending on the method used, but generally, patients can expect to have some swelling and bruising around the eyes for several days to a week.

What are the differences between Cat Eyes and Foxy Eyes procedures?

The “cat eyes” and “foxy eyes” procedures are similar in that they are both eyelid surgeries designed to create a more defined and lifted appearance to the outer corners of the eyes. However, the terms “cat eyes” and “foxy eyes” can be used differently by different surgeons or clinics and may refer to slightly different techniques or outcomes.

Some differences could be:

The “Cat Eye” procedure may focus more on creating a subtle lift and definition to the outer corners of the eyes, while the “foxy eye” procedure may aim for a more dramatic lift and defined outer corners. This might be done using sutures or fat repositioning methods.

The “Fox Eye” procedure may be more invasive than the “Cat Eye” procedure, has a longer recovery time, and involves removing a small strip of skin from the outer corner of the eyelid.

Canthopexy (Cat eyes): This minor surgical procedure strengthens and stabilizes the lateral canthal tendon to tighten a drooping lower eyelid or ectropion. This method repositions the outside corner of the eye where the eyelids meet, restoring a youthful look. It can uplift the eye by around 5 mm.

Who is a good candidate for Cat Eyes/Foxy Eyes Surgery?

A good candidate for cat eyes or foxy eyes surgery is typically an adult who is in good overall health and has realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.

Ideal candidates usually have:

droopy or hooded outer corners of the eyelids
excess skin or fat in the outer corners of the eyelids
no significant underlying eye or eyelid problems
no severe medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications during or after surgery.

The procedure is not suitable for people with:

Active infection or inflammation in the eye area
Serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, dry eye, or retinal problems
Blood clotting disorders or tendency to form keloid scars
Previous eyelid surgery.
It is important to discuss your medical history and goals for surgery with a qualified and experienced surgeon to determine if this procedure is right for you.

What are the reasons for undergoing a Cat-Eye/Fox Eye Surgery?

There are several reasons why a person may choose to undergo cat eyes or foxy eyes surgery. Some common reasons include:

Correct droopy or hooded outer corners of the eyelids
Remove excess skin or fat in the outer corners of the eyelids
Improve the appearance of the eyes and make them look more defined and lifted
Achieve a more youthful and alert appearance
Correct asymmetry in the eyes
Restore self-confidence

What are the techniques used in the Cat Eyes/Foxy Eyes Surgery?

Several techniques can be used in cat eyes or foxy eyes surgery, and the choice of technique will depend on the individual case and the surgeon’s preference and expertise. Some common methods include:

Suture technique: This technique involves making tiny incisions on the outer corner of the eyelid and using sutures to lift the outer corner of the eyelid.
Skin excision technique: This technique involves removing a small strip of skin from the eyelid’s outer corner to lift the eyelid’s outer corner.
Fat repositioning technique: This technique involves repositioning the fat in the outer corner of the eyelid to lift the outer corner.
Combination technique: This technique involves combining the above methods, such as removing a small strip of skin and repositioning the fat.

The surgeon will choose the best technique depending on the patient’s needs and goals and discuss each method’s pros and cons before the surgery. Also, note that the specific technique used may not be referred to as “Cat Eyes” or “Foxy Eyes” by all surgeons and may have different names like “Lateral canthoplasty” or “Lateral Canthopexy.”

What are the preparations for Cat Eyes/Foxy Eyes Surgery?
