1Aesthetics Medical & Surgery

18 May

Yesterday i visited 1 Aesthetics to have a consultation with Dr Wan about how i hope to have a better contoured face structure and the problem i have with my muscular jaw muscle due to teeth grinding. As a first timer to aesthetics it's very important to seek advice from a professional aesthetics doctor and not proceed with any surgical treatment in a haste.

Upon telling Dr Wan that i want to have a longer chin and a smaller jaw but yet keep my jawline, he then suggested on botox and fillers which will be done on different days.

Thanks to the advice given by Dr Wan, i then went ahead with the procedure tomorrow.  

1Aesthetics Medical and Surgery also provide treatments covering all general problems ranging from coughs and colds to many more areas such as Health screenings, Medical Examinations, Women's/Men's Health & Minor Surgery services including precise wound suturing.

Dr Wan Chee Kwang has a strong passion in aesthetics field and a special interest in lasers, botox and fillers. Just look at the certificates displayed on the wall.

BEFORE:

 Shots were taken before the procedure for comparison.

As my balls isn't that big enough, numbing cream is a must hahaha. 

OKAY HERE WE GOOOOOO....

The pain level on my chin is more compared to the jaw. I can literally feel the needle sticking in and the liquid flowing OMGGGG but i can't feel anything on the jaw. 

BUT IF YOU WANNA BE PRETTY SUCH PAIN IS NOTHING RIGHT????

WHY BOTOX?

The use of Botox to contour the face is gaining popularity. Botox is injected directly into enlarged jaw muscles at the angle of the jaw. These muscles then shrink (atrophy) over time and soften the square-look that the enlarged muscles create. Also, if the treatment is maintained, the bony angle of the jaw may resorb slightly giving the face a softer contour.

The jabs are also used to treat teeth-grinding ('bruxism'). Grinding not only damages the teeth, but some dentists and doctors believe it can also cause headaches and facial pain, known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) or temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ pain)

After Botox you might find slight bruise on the injection area which is normal and you can easily conceal it with make up and during the first week your jaw strength will decrease which makes chewing a bit tougher. Dr Wan also reminded me that it takes min 2 weeks to see an obvious difference in the jaw and a few days for the chin. 

So for my next appointment to have fillers done it's scheduled 2 weeks later. So excited!!!

I'm really pleased to meet Dr Wan & his fellow staffs because they are all so polite, kind and helpful with my enquiries!
