Face mask — The face mask we give you is intended to support the soft tissue of your face after surgery. It keeps everything in the desired position, prevents 'dead spaces' and the formation of scar tissue therein, and reduces postoperative swelling. The face mask must be worn 24 hours a day for the first three days. This is really important. This allows the chin muscle to reattach itself to the bone. It can only be removed for a short time while eating and showering. Dr. van de Ven will tell you during the preoperative consultation whether or not the face mask should be worn afterwards. The mask can be washed at 60°C.
