Facial and jaw orthopedic surgery

Adjusting facial structure through facial and jaw bone surgery not only enhances aesthetic appearance and restores confidence but also simplifies life for individuals, especially those with:
<ul>
<li>Difficulty chewing due to protruding or receding jaw bones.</li>
<li>Speech issues caused by dental occlusion abnormalities.</li>
<li>Snoring problems due to a receding jaw narrowing the airway.</li>
<li>Lack of confidence from facial deformities or larger-than-normal facial structures, such as crooked chin, short chin, protruding chin, large jaw, or those wanting a wider jaw.</li>
<li>Excessive gum exposure when smiling, or protruding jaw bones and teeth.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Treatment Process</h2>
<ol>
<li>Diagnosis and Planning:
<ul>
<li>The treatment involves collaboration between orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons, particularly when orthodontic treatment is required alongside surgery. The doctors conduct thorough examinations and plan the treatment to ensure a pleasing facial structure and normal functions of chewing, speaking, breathing, and jaw joint movement.</li>
<li>A pre-surgical analysis includes evaluating the surgery type, direction, and extent of bone movement. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is unconscious.</li>
<li>Prior to surgery, the patient will receive a cost estimate for the treatment and medical supplies, undergo a physical examination, and have blood tests to ensure readiness. The surgery date is then scheduled.</li>
<li>Patients receive instructions on pre-surgery preparation, including fasting guidelines. Throughout the process, staff are available to assist and provide information.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Post-Surgery Care:
<ul>
<li>Patients will need to stay in the hospital for at least 1-2 nights under medical supervision. A special garment around the face may be required for at least a week to support and protect the surgical area.</li>
<li>Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor recovery and treatment success.</li>
</ul>

</ol>

Q: Can I eat normally after the surgery?
