Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your surgeon evaluates your facial structure, bite, and jaw relationship using clinical examination and imaging.
Step 2: Orthodontic Preparation
Many patients wear braces for several months before surgery to ensure the teeth are positioned correctly.
Step 3: Surgical Procedure
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
Most incisions are made inside the mouth, reducing the likelihood of visible facial scars.
The jawbones are repositioned and stabilized using titanium plates and screws. The procedure generally takes 2–5 hours, depending on complexity.
Step 4: Recovery
Patients typically remain in the hospital for one to three days before discharge, although this may vary based on the extent of surgery.
