Maxillofacial surgery focused on function and facial harmony
Maxillofacial surgery considers the facial bones, bite, profile proportions, and soft tissues together. Every treatment recommendation should be based on an individual diagnosis and realistic functional and aesthetic goals.
Chin surgery (mentoplasty)
Chin surgery can adjust projection, height, or symmetry to improve the relationship between the chin, lips, nose, and neck.
- A recessed or underprojected chin.
- Asymmetry in the lower third of the face.
- Assessment of implant or bone-repositioning options, depending on the case.
Orthognathic surgery
Treats differences in the position or growth of the upper and lower jaws that can affect the bite, symmetry, and facial proportions.
- Planning coordinated with orthodontic treatment.
- Dentofacial deformities and asymmetry.
- Functional, bite, and aesthetic assessment of the face.
Congenital facial conditions
Assessment and treatment of craniofacial conditions present from birth, including cleft lip and palate and dentofacial deformities associated with craniofacial syndromes.
- Cleft lip and palate and alveoloplasty.
- Differences in maxillofacial growth.
- Coordination with orthodontics and other specialties.
Facial aesthetics
Maxillofacial training allows assessment of the face from its bone structure to its soft tissues, aiming for proportionate changes that suit the patient's anatomy.
- Improving facial profile harmony.
- Jawline and lower facial contours.
- Individual surgical assessment.
