Before/After Simulation in Facial Surgery

Maxillofacial surgery, stomatology, restorative, plastic and aesthetic medicine.

Recessed chin

We simulate maxillofacial surgery for so-called Class II skeletal profiles by moving the lower jaw (mandible) forward, which is too far back (retrognathia).
→ backward chin, receding chin, double chin, sleep apnea, difficulty breathing, etc.

Jaw forward

We simulate the correction of the lower jaw (mandible) too far forward (prognathism) also called Class III malocclusion. We retouch the photo to imagine the result of a maxillary or bi-maxillary osteotomy with a possible correction of the chin (genioplasty).
→ forward chin, misaligned teeth, chewing problems…

Otoplasty - protruding ears

We simulate otoplasty operations that aim to reattach protruding ears. Please note that the hair must be tied back and not be visible behind the ears for the simulation to be successful.
→ protruding ears, cauliflower ears, asymmetrical ears

Genioplasty - chin reduction

We simulate chin reduction surgery ( removal genioplasty ). We push the chin back more or less depending on what is requested so that the patient can see what we would like to achieve with the operation.
→ chin too far forward, prominent chin, large chin, etc.

Genioplasty - chin lengthening

We simulate this surgical operation, which lengthens the chin, using photo retouching . It is used in cases of retrognathism without dental occlusion problems.
→ too short chin , small chin, receding chin, backward chin, etc.

Genioplasty - Chin-wing Method

We simulate this extensive chin surgery called “ Chin-wing Genioplasty ” which lowers the chin but also the lower jaw for a more harmonious lower face line. This surgery relieves tension on the lower lip and allows the patient to close their mouth effortlessly (the surgery corrects the open lip).
→ too short chin, small chin, receding chin , backward chin…

Long face - Anterior vertical excess

We simulate surgeries to correct facial hyperdivergence (excess vertical growth of the face). The “ Long Face ” is characterized by inocclusion of the lips at rest, excessive visibility of the teeth with sometimes a gummy smile or a chin “too high”.
→ difficulty closing the mouth, large chin, visible gums…

Short face - Anterior vertical insufficiency

We simulate the results expected from an operation to correct an underdeveloped lower jaw (mandible) (so-called “ short face ” profile). The chin-lip fold is often very pronounced. The lower lip pushes on the upper lip and can give a face an aged and sad appearance.
→ very small chin, fold between the chin and the lower lip…

Gummy smile

We simulate the various operations related to the gummy smile (when the gums are revealed when smiling). The photo retouching depends on the technique planned by the surgeon (action on the gums and/or the levator muscles and/or a modification of the upper jaw by osteotomy).
→ visible gums, small teeth hidden by the gum, lip that rises too much…

Rhinoplasty - changing the shape of the nose

Before/after simulations of rhinoplasty operations : lengthening or narrowing of the nose , removal of bumps… depending on your requests.
→ humped nose , trumpet nose, hooked nose, drooping nose, upturned nose, aquiline nose…

Rhinoplasty - narrowing of the nostrils

We simulate nostril surgery operations : nostril narrowing, nostril refinement, etc., depending on your requests.
→ nostrils too wide, nostrils too bulging, large nostrils, flattened nostril, drooping nostril, etc.

Lip surgeries

We simulate different lip surgeries : Liplift, lip reduction, wrinkle removal, hyaluronic acid…
→ invisible upper lip, lips too thin, lips too swollen…

Facelift

We simulate the aesthetic benefits of a facelift , which lifts the skin of the face and erases the main signs of aging.
→ sagging skin, loose skin, sad face, premature aging, etc.

Blepharoplasty - Eyelids and bags

We simulate the aesthetic benefits of blepharoplasty which corrects drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes.
→ dark circles , bags under the eyes , drooping eyelids…

Facelift and blepharoplasty

We simulate the combined aesthetic benefits of a facelift and blepharoplasty (eyelids and bags under the eyes).
→ dark circles, bags, sagging face, premature aging, etc.

Illustratives images

Would you like a before/after simulation on an operation that does not appear in the list?

Please contact us , specifying the procedure and possibly providing a photo so we can tell you whether or not this simulation is feasible using our cosmetic surgery simulator . Also, check out our facial surgery dictionary to understand the surgeon’s language.

Simulation of cosmetic or reconstructive surgery

We are experts in before/after simulation for cosmetic , plastic and reconstructive surgery. In fact, we perform simulations from a profile or front photo. Thanks to this, we help you imagine what the result of an operation could be: rhinoplasty , otoplasty, genioplasty, long face, short face, gummy smile, facelift , blepharoplasty, lip surgery, chin forward, chin back.

Are you hesitant to contact a cosmetic surgeon? Or has your maxillofacial surgeon suggested an operation but you have trouble imagining the result? Before committing to an expensive operation that is not reimbursed by social security, it is sometimes more prudent to simulate cosmetic surgery in order to be able to imagine the result without taking risks. Indeed, the simulation allows you to show the surgeon the result you would like to achieve. This way, the surgeon will be able to tell you if the result is achievable, with which technique and you will avoid misunderstandings. We carry out digital simulations of facial modification using 3D morphing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) .

Recommendations for the photos provided

Information regarding before/after photos

The purpose of before/after simulations is to give you a visual to show to your surgeon in order to best explain what you would like to achieve with the operation. Performing a before/after photo simulation does not mean that a surgical operation will be able to achieve the same result. Indeed, it is a photo retouching carried out with surgical morphing software which in no way predicts the technical possibility of performing the operation or not . Consequently, only your surgeon will be able to confirm the feasibility of the operation (rhinoplasty, genioplasty, ear reattachment, etc.). Indeed, digital simulation cannot predict the result of the operation.

Simulation images do not constitute a binding performance obligation for your surgeon. Before and after images have no contractual value and should not influence your decision to undergo surgery. Therefore, you cannot challenge the surgeon or chirurgie-avant-apres.fr regarding any discrepancy between the simulation image and the post-operative result.

Any surgery presents risks, so we strongly advise you to respect the reflection period recommended by your surgeon. We also draw the attention of younger people to the dangers of “fads” and the advice given by influencers on Instagram or TikTok. In summary,
we advise you to take the time to mature your project of cosmetic or reconstructive surgery . Simulation can allow you to show your surgeon what you would like to achieve but should not be considered as a result that you will achieve thanks to surgery.
