- Developmental jaw discrepancies (severe overbite, underbite, open bite) affecting profile.
- Contour irregularities from previous surgeries or tumor resections.
- Asymmetries or disproportions of the cheekbones, chin, or forehead causing aesthetic or psychological distress.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive consultation with the surgeon to discuss goals, expectations, and medical history.
- Complete facial analysis with photographs, X-rays (cephalogram, OPG), and often 3D CT scans.
- Medical evaluation including blood tests and possibly cardiac clearance to ensure fitness for surgery.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (aspirin, NSAIDs, certain supplements) as advised by the surgeon.
- Arranging for help at home and taking necessary time off work for the recovery period.
- Avoiding smoking and alcohol for several weeks before and after surgery to promote healing.
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks: Bleeding, infection, and adverse reaction to anesthesia.
- Nerve injury potentially leading to temporary or permanent numbness or weakness in parts of the face.
- Asymmetry, under-correction, or over-correction requiring possible revision surgery.
- Bone healing problems, non-union, or implant-related issues if grafts or plates are used.
- Scarring, though incisions are often placed inside the mouth or in discreet locations.
- Swelling, bruising, and pain, which are common but temporary post-operative effects.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for monitoring, pain management, and initial wound care.
- Significant facial swelling and bruising peak in the first 3-5 days and gradually subside over weeks.
- A liquid or soft diet is required for several weeks to allow bone and internal incisions to heal.
- Strict oral hygiene protocols if incisions are intraoral to prevent infection.
- Activity restrictions: No strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or contact sports for 6-8 weeks.
- Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring healing, removing sutures, and assessing progress.
- Final results become apparent as swelling fully resolves, which can take several months to a year.
-
Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
-
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for initial recovery, 6-12 months for full resolution of swelling and final result

I'd been to three doctors with...
I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
