Double Jaw Surgery

Description

Double jaw surgery, or Bi-maxillary Osteotomy, is a complex surgical procedure designed to correct severe jaw deformities, misalignments, or congenital anomalies involving both the upper (maxilla) and lower (mandible) jaws. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and begins with precise preoperative planning, including detailed imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, and 3D models to guide the surgical approach. The surgery usually starts with an incision inside the mouth to minimize visible scarring. For the maxillary surgery, the surgeon cuts the bone above the teeth, allowing the upper jaw to be moved into its correct position. Once the desired repositioning is achieved, the jaw is secured using plates and screws. Next, attention is shifted to the lower jaw. The surgeon performs a sagittal split osteotomy, where the mandible is split into two pieces behind the molars on each side. The lower segment of the jaw is then repositioned to align properly with the upper jaw, and similarly fixed using plates and screws. Post-surgical considerations include closing the incisions with sutures and monitoring for any immediate complications such as bleeding or adverse reactions to anesthesia. After the surgery, the patient may need to stay in the hospital for a few days for close observation and will require a recovery period involving a liquid or soft diet, pain management, and possibly physical therapy to ensure proper healing and functional restoration of the jaws. Follow-ups with the surgeon and an orthodontist are crucial to assess the success of the surgery and the patient's progress.

The surgery can address issues like misalignment and asymmetry. - **Protruding Mouth Surgery**: This procedure corrects a protruding mouth by repositioning the teeth and jaw. It enhances facial balance and improves oral function. - **Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery**: This surgery repairs congenital deformities of the lip and palate. It enhances both functionality and aesthetics, contributing to better speech and facial harmony. - **Implant and Bone Graft Surgery**: Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, often with the aid of bone grafts to support the implants. This restores chewing function and maintains facial structure. **Aesthetic Dental Procedures** - **Aesthetic Prosthetics (Laminate, Teeth Whitening)**: These treatments focus on improving the appearance of the teeth. Procedures include veneers (laminates) and teeth whitening for a brighter, more appealing smile. **Plastic Surgery for Facial Soft Tissue** - **Eye Surgery and Revision Surgery**: Eye surgeries include blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids. Revision surgeries correct previous procedures to achieve desired results. - **Rhinoplasty and Nose Revision Surgery**: Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for both aesthetic and functional improvements. Revision surgeries correct and refine the results of prior rhinoplasty procedures. - **Liposuction and Fat Grafting Surgery**: Liposuction removes excess fat deposits, often followed by fat grafting to contour other areas of the face. These procedures enhance facial proportion and symmetry. - **Face Lifting and Thread Lifting**: Face lifting procedures tighten sagging skin, while thread lifting uses temporary sutures to create a subtle but visible lift. Both treatments aim to rejuvenate the facial appearance. **Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments** - **Filler and Functional Filler**: Dermal fillers are injected to smooth wrinkles and add volume. Functional fillers also address specific skin concerns such as deep-set lines and facial hollows. - **Botox**: Botox injections reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's a popular non-invasive treatment for facial rejuvenation. - **Anti-Aging Treatment**: These treatments can include a variety of procedures aimed at reducing the signs of aging. They often involve skin rejuvenation techniques like laser therapy or chemical peels. By combining expertise in both hard and soft tissue manipulation, Seoul Face 21 Dental Hospital offers a comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics, ensuring that each patient achieves a balanced and harmonious appearance.
