I'm Asian and I'm considering jaw and cheekbone contouring. Jaw reduction involves excising bone from jaw/chin (sagittal splitting osteotomy) and cheekbone reduction involves breaking the zygoma, moving it inwards and fixing with wires/screws. Both surgeries are performed through intraoral incisions under general by a plastic surgeon. How safe is this? Are there any serious risks such as permanent nerve damage? Will my cheeks get saggy?(without bone support). I'm planning to get it done in Korea and the cost is $15,000. Worried about safety and side effects. Thank you so much for your time Doctors. I appreciate it :)
