Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic Surgery: Comprehensive Jaw Corrections for Facial Aesthetics and Functional Balance

Orthognathic surgery is an advanced surgical treatment method that aims to improve facial aesthetics and jaw function through the repositioning and reshaping of the jaw bones. This surgery plays an important role in eliminating both aesthetic and functional discrepancies. Below, the two main sub-headings of orthognathic surgery, jaw lengthening/shortening and chin tip (genioplasty), are detailed.

Jaw Lengthening/Shortening

Jaw lengthening or shortening procedures ensure the balancing of the jaw structure by making significant changes in facial symmetry and aesthetics. This procedure is performed by repositioning the lower and/or upper jaw bones.

• Features:
• Surgically cutting the upper or lower jaw bones and repositioning them forwards or backwards.
• Custom planning aimed at correcting facial aesthetics and the dental bite.
• A safe application with modern surgical techniques and stabilisation methods.
• Advantages:
• Improvement of facial symmetry and profile aesthetics.
• Optimisation of functions such as chewing, speaking and breathing.
• Precise planning and application carried out by expert teams.

Chin Tip (Genioplasty)

Genioplasty is a surgical procedure applied to correct the aesthetic appearance of the chin tip (jawline) and to provide harmony in the lower part of the face. This procedure contributes aesthetically to the facial profile by reducing or emphasising the sharpness of the chin tip.

• Features:
• Shaping the bone structure of the chin tip or restructuring it using an implant.
• Planning accompanied by custom aesthetic analysis and digital simulations.
• Shortening the healing time with minimally invasive techniques.
• Advantages:
• Achieving a softer and more balanced appearance in the lower part of the face.
• Natural results in line with aesthetic expectations.
• A short healing process and minimal discomfort after the operation.
