 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a...

  Last week, a patient came to the hospital for consultation on zygomatic bone surgery. During the consultation, the patient asked whether screw fixation or wire fixation is used for zygomatic bone fixation. Generally, it is heard that wire fixation is weak, so the patient was curious if wire fixation is acceptable for zygomatic bone surgery. As a specialist, I will explain in detail about the fixation methods for zygomatic bone surgery. -The truth about wire fixation vs plate + screw fixation- The choice of fixation method depends entirely on the judgment of the operating surgeon. Although each fixation method has its own characteristics, the degree of fixation varies greatly depending on how the fixation material is used. Therefore, it cannot be simply said that one fixation method is better than another. Ultimately, what matters is not which fixation method is used, but how that method is specifically applied. Ultimately, I fix both the front and back parts of the zygomatic arch...

  I am a surgeon. Since all personnel involved in surgery must wear masks, I have been familiar with masks since before the COVID-19 era. During my residency in plastic surgery, I spent almost all day in the operating room. While I often saw my physician colleagues even outside the operating room, whom I knew by their original faces, the situation was different for the operating room nurses. I saw them every day, but always with masks on. However, every month, when the residents' affiliations changed, we held a sort of farewell gathering called 'farewell dinner.' Typically, most of the doctors and nurses with whom I had worked in the operating room would attend. It was during these gatherings that we would see each other's bare faces for the first time, and it often came as a surprise. This was because the impression we had from just seeing each other's eyes was significantly different from seeing the whole face for the first time. Have you heard the term 'maskh...

In reality, the topic of orthognathic revision surgery is quite challenging to handle. Even as I write this, I feel a sense of apprehension... These days, there has been a significant increase in the number of people seeking consultations for orthognathic surgery and actually undergoing the procedure. Once, when celebrities appeared on TV after undergoing orthognathic surgery during their hiatus and showed dramatic changes in their faces, the curiosity of the general public surged. Due to such curiosity, when people searched on portal sites, it became an issue, and the surgery began to be widely known even among the general public. Furthermore, it was often mentioned as if undergoing orthognathic surgery could make one look like a celebrity. Due to these issues, orthognathic surgery came to be perceived as a means to become more beautiful, leading to an increase in cases of orthognathic surgery among the general public. However, indiscriminate orthognathic surgeries led to a rise in ca...

  Forehead revision surgery is not an easy choice. Although this content was posted a few days ago, the number of people visiting for revision surgery has been increasing recently. It seems that many people who underwent surgery during the summer vacation or holiday are considering revision surgery due to dissatisfaction or side effects. Usually, revision surgery is performed after six months post-surgery. Today, we will look into forehead revision surgery. Forehead revision surgery is typically performed due to asymmetry or unsatisfactory results after the initial surgery, such as frontal bone non-union. Since it involves resecting and re-fixating bones, it can be a challenging procedure. Therefore, extensive surgical experience and years of experience in bone surgery are necessary. In the case of forehead revision surgery, since the bones have already been resected during the initial surgery, it becomes difficult to re-resect them to match the shape again. Additionally, there may...
