If such changes occur, we at the Yuveo Clinic in D\u00fcsseldorf can counteract them with scar ointments and, if necessary, anti-inflammatory injections. <\/p>\n<p>If we make the incisions from the inside during chin surgery, for example during chin reduction, there is hardly any risk of scarring.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Injury to neighboring structures<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With good knowledge and an experienced plastic surgeon, injuries to deeper structures are unlikely, but not impossible. At risk is a cutaneous nerve branch whose injury can cause the numbness described above. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Infections<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Due to the good blood circulation in the head and neck area, infections are <strong>rare<\/strong>. However, if signs of infection occur postoperatively, our Yuveo team will react immediately.
