Facial contouring surgery was something I had been considering for years. I always felt like my jawline was too wide, and my cheeks looked too full in photos. I wanted a more defined, V-shaped face, but I was nervous about the risks involved.
I did a lot of research before making a decision, and I want to share what I learned—both the risks and how to choose the right surgeon (which made all the difference for me!).
Common Risks of Facial Contouring Surgery
Swelling & Bruising – This is expected, and for me, the first two weeks were the most intense. Ice packs and prescribed medications helped a lot.
Nerve Damage – This was my biggest fear. Since the procedure involves bone shaving or cutting, there’s a risk of temporary or permanent numbness. This is why choosing an experienced surgeon is critical.
Asymmetry – If the bone isn’t reshaped evenly, your face may look uneven post-surgery. Again, this depends on the skill of the surgeon.
Prolonged Healing – It takes at least 3-6 months for your final results to fully settle. Some people experience tightness or discomfort for a while.
Infection & Bleeding – Rare, but possible. That’s why post-op care is so important!

My Results & Recovery
Week 1: Swelling was intense, and I felt sore, but no extreme pain.
Week 3: Bruising was almost gone, and my face started looking more defined.
Month 3: My new jawline was fully visible—softer, slimmer, and exactly what I wanted!
I won’t lie, the recovery process requires patience, but seeing my face transform made it so worth it.
