Mumbai, November 19, 2021: With the drop in the number of Covid 19 cases, now plastic & cosmetic surgery rate has been increased in Mumbai city. Doctors at Zynova Shalby Hospitals, Ghatkopar have performed a total facial correction surgery on a 32 -year-old young man, who had suffered facial deformity since childhood. Dr. Kaustubh Sarvade, Otorhinolaryngologist and Dr. Samrat Tawde, UK trained Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon have successfully performed this surgery with extensive planning. Kumar (name changed) had severe facial pain and there was severe facial disfigurement. None of the pain medication helped the patient. After examination & necessary medical investigation we found out that the pain and facial asymmetry was due to excessive growth of the jaw joint and excessive bone growth around the ear canals. His chin, instead of being at the center, was skewed to one side. Similarly, his upper jaw was also not in level, with one side being shorter, therefore his face did not have much of a pleasing appearance. Doctors wanted to operate to make his face look normal and did extensive planning on virtual software for correction of his face. His entire face was replicated by 3D modeling to create a plastic model. The exact surgery which was to be performed for straightening his face was done on the model to see the final results. There were a multitude of procedures planned including the removal of abnormal jaw joints, resection of the left angle of the jaw, reduction of the ear bone overgrowths and reshaping the ear canal for an adequate size. Meticulous attention was paid to achieve a good dental rebalancing. The marathon surgery went on for 11 hours and we achieved a good result. This story is still developing as Mr. Kumar will require a series of treatments and surgeries to prevent the regrowth of bones and reduce his facial deformities and asymmetries.
Dr. Samrat Tawde Maxillofacial Surgeon from Zynova Shalby Hospital, Ghatkopar said, “We did several tests and scans to ascertain the reason. We stimulated a 3-D model using patients scan data which gave us a real time model of the patient’s facial skeleton. This Stereolithographic model gave us the exact measurements and we could compare the two sides of the face and calculate the asymmetric difference between the two sides. We could know exactly how much bone we need to cut to achieve fair symmetry”.
Dr. Kaustubh Sarvade, Otorhinolaryngologist said, the planning for the surgery went on for 2 to 3 weeks as we wanted to get as much perfection as possible as the patient had previous surgeries for local bone growth but had never experienced such type of extensive planning and execution. The jaw joint on the affected side was 4 times the normal size. The hallmark of our surgery was the immaculate planning, use of stereolithographic models and superior control over the outcomes of the surgery.
The surgical team would like to thank our patient and his relatives for the faith they showed in us and the co-operation they extended to us throughout the pre-operative planning stage and surgical and the post-operative stage.
Kumar said, post-surgery I am happy because I can go out and meet people with confidence. My life has changed. Since my teenage years, I suffered a lot due to my condition, as many people made fun of my face. But now, I am confident to face the public and would like to thank Dr. Samrat, Dr.Kaustubh and the entire Zynova –Shalby Hospital team for changing my life. Ashish Sharma, Head of Business Development, Zynova Shalby Hospital Said, People are excited about undergoing cosmetic surgeries now as the number of COVID-19 cases is low and many professionals have work from home options till March 2022. This gives them the opportunity to take rest post the surgery or procedure. We have a state of the art facility for such types of surgeries in Zynova Shalby Hospital, Ghatkopar.
