Hi, this is Riley from ID Hospital! 👋
Today, I want to share some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from patients considering facial contouring surgery.
At ID Hospital, we know that making the decision to undergo surgery involves careful thought, preparation, and trust.
That’s why we’ve prepared a short Q&A session to help guide you with reliable insights.

Q. In which cases is nail art removal necessary before surgery, and what is the reason? Also, for which types of surgeries is it required?
A. Nail art (including regular nail polish, gel, acrylics) should be removed before surgery in the following situations:
✅ Most cosmetic and general surgeries requiring general or sedation anesthesia
(e.g., facial contouring, breast surgery, abdominoplasty, extensive liposuction)
✅ Any surgical or procedural situation requiring oxygen saturation monitoring, even without anesthesia
(e.g., when there is a risk of decreased consciousness or use of sedatives affecting breathing/oxygenation)
✅ For monitoring purposes during surgery or recovery
(to ensure accurate real-time monitoring of blood oxygen saturation)

Q. Can I undergo facial contouring surgery if I have TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems?
A. Yes. Facial contouring targets the cheekbones and jawbone, not the TMJ joint.
Even with TMJ issues, contouring surgery is generally possible.

Q. What are some tips for choosing a good hospital for facial contouring surgery?
A.
1️⃣ Experienced Surgeon: Check if the doctor has extensive experience with the specific surgery, has good results, and matches your preferred surgical style.
2️⃣ Proven Safety: Choose a hospital with a strong safety record, such as having a board-certified anesthesiologist on site.
3️⃣ Accountability: Select a hospital that takes full responsibility for your care, from initial consultation through all of your follow-up visits.
