Everyone is probably looking into removing pins after contouring surgery or double jaw surgery, but since there isn't a lot of reviews or information, you're probably worried. I was like that too. First of all, do I need to have pins removed? Opinions are divided on whether you should do it or not. There may be people who don't know about pin removal. When I had cheek surgery, the hospital only said that it would be fixed with pins and never told me about pin removal. I may have to have another surgery to remove the pins. I think I'm not telling you because if I do, everyone will hesitate even more. I also found an article saying that pins should be removed only a year after cheekbone surgery, so I hurriedly searched for them. First of all, the conclusion is that removing pins is a personal choice, but I think I should do it. It is a material used in implants, and is said to be friendly to the body, but it is embedded in the face and the face moves a lot while eating and chewing . If it does for 10 to 20 years, the pin may break, and if a problem occurs later, it becomes much more difficult to remove. I know that if you use implants for a long time, you often need to replace them with new ones. Also, I have scars from injuries I had when I was young, and even old scars sometimes get itchy and red when I'm not feeling well. But I'm fine now because I'm young, but when I get older, will my immunity and health be the same? Even if it's okay, it can cause inflammation and problems decades later, so rather than suffering because it's much more difficult to remove then, when it's easy to remove it now, when you're healthy, you can completely eliminate that risk and make your bones perfect? I thought it was a good thing, so I removed the pin this time! It's been a week now and the reason I recommend removing the pins is because after trying it, it really wasn't as big of a deal as I thought! Of course, this was also surgery, but it was as difficult as removing three real wisdom teeth! In fact, I think it’s much better than having three wisdom teeth removed! Eating is much easier than having my wisdom teeth removed haha It doesn't hurt that much after the surgery! There are stitches from the incision in the mouth, but the teeth are still there and the cheekbones are still there, so you can just chew it as long as it's not spicy! If cheekbone surgery was a difficulty level of 10, would pin removal be a level of difficulty of 3 to 4? It was possible through sedative anesthesia, and I woke up after sleeping for about an hour and it was over. Since it was sedative anesthesia, it wasn't too difficult even after waking up! The only bad thing is that if you have side cheek pins, you have to make an incision in the sideburns near your ears! It stays well for a week, then the stitches are removed, and after that, you take care of the scar, and if your sideburns grow, it's okay. The incision is only 1 cm, and the incision area is much smaller than with cheekbone surgery! The inside of the mouth is a melting room, and it may vary from person to person, but I didn't have much pain for a week and there was a lot of swelling, but the swelling is going down a lot day by day. And what I really thought was that I did a good job was to take another X-ray after I woke up after the surgery to show that everything was removed well. Seeing that all the pins that I hated were completely clean, I felt so refreshed and happy! I hope everyone thinks about removing the pin!
