Most Asians have less prominent bones in maxillofacial

or mandibular structure than the Caucasians or Hispanics. With less jaw bone or maxilla is more likely pushed backwards or not properly aligned, the appearance of the person looks enervated could be unappealing. The best alternative to this condition is jaw surgery.

Jaw surgery, is a medical or cosmetic surgery to correct and reconstruct deformities from accidents, disease or congenital occurrences. Nowadays, in cosmetic world Jaw Surgery is done by people who have small or pushed back maxilla or mandible. In some cases, other patients who has extreme pushed forward maxilla or chin. Jaw surgery operational procedure is done inside the mouth by cutting some parts of the jawbones and properly aligned them to a more balance and correct position. Once the surgeons assured the right positioning they will secure the jawbone by screwing and insert bone plates to stabilized and anchor the jawbone.

In other cases of jaw surgery, the jawbones are not enough to fill out the less prominent bones so the surgeon will have to provide extra bone from other parts of the body that is qualified and safe to support the procedure. The surgeon will transfer from the ribs, hip or leg and anchor it with temporary wires. 
 

Normally, prior doing a jaw surgery the patient must seek orthodontist to get braces for their teeth alignment for about 18-20 months until the orthodontist and jaw plastic surgeon will advised them that they are ready to do jaw surgery. Once the patient totally recovered and healed from jaw surgery, their orthodontist will advise them to wear the braces for more couple of months.

Jaw surgery operation will have no scars around the maxilla or chin area because this procedure is done inside the mouth. The operation will be performed in the hospital and requires admission for 24 to 48 hours of stay for close monitoring. When the patient is advised for discharge, he/she will have few visits with the surgeon for follow up check and the total recovery procedure will take 4-6 weeks.

  

There are three types of Jaw Surgery operational procedure:​

  1. Upper Jaw surgery

  2. Lower Jaw surgery

  3. Upper and lower Jaw surgery

1. Upper Jaw surgery or Maxillary Osteotomy is performed to correct recede maxilla area, crossbite, open bite and teeth are less or more protrude.

Upper jaw surgery operation procedure is performed by cutting some parts of the bone above the teeth which is below the eye sockets so the that entire maxilla bone and area including the palate will be able to move as one part, that’s the time the surgeon will align either forwardly or backwardly until it is properly proportioned to the lower teeth or the mandible. The surgeon will secure the jawbone by screwing it and place plates to anchor the bone to its proper position.

In open bite cases, the bones grow above the molars thus causes angled surface which should normally be flat. In this condition, when the patient bites, the molars touch but the scissor teeth do not. In this case, the surgeon will most likely remove the excess bone or shove it away.

2. Lower jaw surgery or mandibular osteotomy is performed to correct receded or prominent lower jaw.

Lower jaw surgery operation procedure is done by cutting some parts of bones behind the molars alongside down the jawbone, to give all mandible area moves as one organ. The surgeon will aligned proportionately to the maxilla bone to create better appearance. Then the surgeon will secure the mandible by screwing and place plates to anchor it perfectly.
