A comprehensive guide to surgical correction of jaw-related facial asymmetry, restoring facial balance and bite function.
Treatment begins with
Comprehensive Evaluation
Surgical Correction
Recovery
Follow-up & Bite Refinement
This surgery is considered once growth has stabilized and the underlying cause is confirmed.
You may need this if...
These signs may indicate that this treatment is the recommended course of care:
- Confirmed jaw-related facial asymmetry affecting bite or appearance
- Stabilized jaw growth in growing patients
- A clear underlying cause identified through evaluation
- Asymmetry significantly affecting function or confidence
A maxillofacial surgeon's evaluation confirms whether this treatment is the right option for you.
What Does This Surgery Involve?
Surgery repositions or reshapes the affected side of the jaw to restore facial balance and a functional bite, planned based on the specific underlying cause identified during evaluation.
The surgical approach is tailored to the underlying cause, whether uneven growth, prior injury, or another factor.
When This Treatment is Considered
This surgery is considered once growth has stabilized and the underlying cause is confirmed.
- Confirmed jaw-related facial asymmetry affecting bite or appearance
- Stabilized jaw growth in growing patients
- A clear underlying cause identified through evaluation
- Asymmetry significantly affecting function or confidence
The Care Pathway
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
3D imaging and growth assessment confirm the cause and surgical plan.
2. Surgical Correction
The jaw is repositioned or reshaped to restore facial balance.
3. Recovery
Swelling and healing are monitored closely in the initial weeks.
4. Follow-up & Bite Refinement
Follow-up visits, sometimes with orthodontic support, refine the final result.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
Correction surgery meaningfully improves facial balance and bite function for most patients with a confirmed, stable cause.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Initial recovery takes two to three weeks, with final results apparent over the following months.
Your surgical team will guide you through recovery and any coordinated orthodontic follow-up.
Careful follow-up and guidance on diet and oral hygiene all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
Questions to Ask Your Care Team
- 1.What is the underlying cause of my asymmetry?
- 2.Is my jaw growth confirmed to be stable?
- 3.Will I need orthodontic treatment alongside surgery?
- 4.What result can I realistically expect?
