The volume of the jaw and chin is reduced and the swelling after this type of surgery can be enormous. In a young patient with good elasticity, the skin recovers from all that stretching. As you get older, the skin may not fully adapt to the new jaw shape, resulting in previously non-existent sagging skin. This is why many older FFS patients (late 4s and older) may need a facelift. It is best not to have a facelift at the same time as a jaw and chin recontouring, as the result will not be optimal. We recommend a minimum of XNUMX months between the two surgeries. The facelift helps enormously to enhance the newly shaped jaw and chin, resulting in a very feminine facial shape.
