Brow bone reduction & forehead reshaping, chin reduction & implant & jawline surgery - how long will recovery be?

Question

Im not young so I wouldn't heal like a 16 year old, but I'm in okay health. I want to reduce my prominent brow (its not like caveman style, just sticks out over my eyes too far and makes my face shadowy and scary), reduce my chin size and have an implant to give it forward projection, and have surgery to make a stronger jawline. How much would all this likely cost? How visible is the scar on the brow bone reduction? How much? Are these procedures performed well in places like Thailand?

Only on the basis of in person evaluation, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon could give you answer to these questions. Multiple surgeries with multiple implants carry significant risks of complications even in the most experienced hands. Who is going to treat you if any of these happens after you return home? Treatment of complications and sequels of performed surgery may be very costly, much more than original surgery in many cases? Think twice before you undertake such a risky adventure. Good luck.

Producing bossing of the forehead it’s pretty straightforward. The incision can be made in different places depending on each individual and was trying to be achieved. For example if someone had a large forehead then the hairline can be lowered by having a hairline incision. Typically a bicoronal incision is made in the scalp that is not visible.

I do not recommend people travel long distances for elective surgical procedures.

People seem to not appreciate the importance of having multiple in person consultations well in advance of having the surgical procedure, the need for in person follow up visits, the number of people who have legitimate concerns after surgery or that complications actually happen.

I recommend consulting with local board-certified plastic surgeons or oral surgeons in your community.

Cost varies based on supply and demand and geographic location.

This website has excellent information and actual prices paid in different areas if you click on each procedure then click on the tab that says cost.

Best,
