Khun Jiab had sustained a burn injury across his lower face and neck during childhood. Skin from his thigh was grafted to the affected area. Many years later, he experienced changes in the shape and tension of his lower face and neck. Hair growing within the grafted skin around his chin could become embedded and cause recurrent inflammation, making everyday life difficult. Because his case was complex and required careful planning, his younger sister helped him research possible treatment options.
They found Dr. Jay at The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital and arranged a consultation. After discussing the case, Dr. Jay recommended lifting selected areas of the face to improve the downward pull of the skin, together with revision of the scar beneath the chin where embedded hair had been causing inflammation.
After treatment, Khun Jiab felt that his face still looked like his own. As an active man who plays football, he did not want an obviously cosmetic change; his priority was to improve comfort and quality of life. He observed improvement in the shape of his earlobe, the contour and tension of the skin along his jawline and neck, and the problematic area beneath his chin. He felt that these changes made daily life easier. For Khun Jiab, the treatment was not solely about appearance—it also addressed long-standing practical concerns related to his injury and graft.
