Jaw Reduction, Rhinoplasty...etc.

Postby mselle » Wed Oct 03, 2012 5:49 pm

Hello Dr. Lam,

I am a 25 year old female planning to have a few procedures done very soon. I am soon to open a business and I want to be model of my own designs and artwork, so I need to look very good physical wise. Basically, I want to end up looking very doll-like with softer features. I have dainty shoulders, all I need now is a dainty head :) not a strong jaw with large, ethnic features.

I know that I'll for sure have rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery because of how ethnic my nose appears and my eyes look droopy and tired making me look bored and sullen. I wish to soften them down. I also know that I have a bit of asymmetry in my face upon studying photos up close, I can't tell if its my eyes or nose/lips that cause the asymmetry. I am also looking into two more procedures: that of jaw reduction since my mandible comes across as strong, and I'm not sure if lip reduction would be necessary since my lips are on the full side, ethnicwise.

I have already looked into the Korean V Line surgery but it scares me that they have to surgically reduce bone, and the pain that comes after it not to mention if I come out looking ridiculous, my face by then will already be ruined. Is the jaw reduction through Botox better and safer and would it suit me?

Is there an email where I can send you my photos instead of posting them publicly?

I would greatly appreciate your advice/opinions,

Ms. Elle

hi,
yes, i can help you with the nose, eyelids, and jaw reduction but i don't do the bone shave for the reasons you have enumerated. botox should work for you if you bite down and the masseter feels relatively firm. you can send me photos to drlam@lamfacialplastics.com.
best,
