Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct severe dental and skeletal abnormalities that cause facial deformities. The procedure involves realigning the jawbone and/or the teeth to improve facial balance, function, and aesthetics. While the primary goal of orthognathic surgery is to correct functional issues, it can also result in significant aesthetic improvements. In some cases, adjunctive aesthetic procedures can be performed alongside orthognathic surgery to enhance the overall appearance of the face. These procedures may include rhinoplasty, genioplasty, and soft tissue augmentation. When performed in combination with orthognathic surgery, these procedures can result in a more harmonious and balanced facial appearance.
