Jaw and Facial Correction (Maxillofacial Surgery)
Maxillofacial surgery covers advanced surgical applications aimed at correcting deformities in shape, position, and function within the lower and upper jaw, as well as the facial bone structure. This field of surgery deals with structures that directly affect not only aesthetics but also chewing, speaking, and respiratory functions.
Jaw discrepancies, facial asymmetries, or congenital bone disorders can lead to both functional and aesthetic problems over time. Maxillofacial surgery addresses these issues with a holistic approach.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Maxillofacial surgery is a suitable option for individuals with recession, protrusion, asymmetry, or bite (occlusion) disorders in the lower or upper jaw. It can also be applied to deformities occurring after facial trauma and severe facial disproportions.
Before treatment, detailed radiological examinations, measurements, and facial analyses are performed. The planning process is carried out specifically for each individual.
Surgical Process and Recovery
Maxillofacial surgical procedures are generally performed under general anesthesia, and the duration of the surgery may vary depending on its scope. The jawbones are moved to their ideal anatomical positions and fixed.
The recovery process may be longer compared to other aesthetic surgeries. Swelling and edema decrease over time. The final results significantly improve facial balance from both a functional and aesthetic perspective.
