Mouth Protrusion Surgery

Why id

Not just teeth but the entire jawbone is corrected for a truly different result

  • The cause of your protrusion (teeth vs. jawbone) is precisely determined with 3D-CT scans and simulations.
  • A dedicated team of plastic surgery, orthodontics, and prosthetics specialists accurately recommends the right solution, whether it's ASO or orthognathic surgery.
  • Bruising and swelling are reduced with a fine dissection technique that preserves blood flow.
  • A personalized surgical plan is created based on an extensive database of cases.
  • Surgeries are designed to prevent over-correction and prioritize a fast return to your daily life.

Types of Protruding Mouth Correction Surgery

Check the Cause of Bimaxillary Protrusion: Is it the Teeth or the Gums?

Analyze the facial profile to assess the degree of protrusion.
In cases of severe lip or gum protrusion, bimaxillary protrusion correction surgery may be recommended.

Teeth
  • Protrusion of more than 4mm when viewed - from the side
  • Gum condition is not suitable for orthodontic treatment alone
  • Excessive gum or alveolar bone protrusion
  • Gummy smile with excessive upper gum exposure when smiling
Gum
  • The chin tip is misaligned or positioned incorrectly
  • The patient desires a noticeable change in a short period of time
  • The infranasal area (area between the nose and upper lip) appears long or recessed

A

Normally, in case of mini v-line surgery and cheekbone reduction surgery, it is possible to get discharged the same day according to the patient’s condition. However, it is necessary to confirm the state of the patient after waking up from anesthesia and proper disinfection of the surgical area. Admission is preferable. 2 to 3 days after surgery, it is possible to resume normal activities (please read your post-surgery manual given to you at the Hospital). Major level of swelling and bruises may last for 3 to 5 weeks, and minor swelling lasts from 3 to 6 months. It is recommended that you wash your mouth frequently with mouthwash after surgery and avoid hot or spicy foods because they may irritate the surgical site. It is also recommended that about two weeks after surgery, you start mouth exercises to widen the jaw, and help the nerves heal faster by using those exercises.

A

Generally, you can be discharged on the same day for cheekbone reduction surgery. In many cases, patients who undergoes surgery in the morning, can wake up from anesthesia and return home alone in the afternoon. However, when going home, do not bend your head or bow down when sleeping. It is good for decreasing your swelling and pain, and use of a fluffy pillow to support yourself in an upright position is advised. (please read your post-surgery manual given to you at the Hospital)

A

First of all, it is important to accurately analyze the shape of the cheekbones before surgery. It is necessary to consult with a clinician who has a lot of clinical experiences based on the results of X-ray and 3D-CT. At surgery, cheekbones are shaved based on the diagnosis. Depending on the skin elasticity of the person, an additional lifting procedure may also be recommended so the tissues are lifted together to give a lifting effect.

A

The facial bones do not grow after the growth period is over. In addition, cheekbone reduction surgery is a procedure in which the protruding cheekbone itself is moved inward and fixed to a new position, so you can rest assured that the cheekbones size will not increase again after surgery.

A

In case of cheekbone reduction surgery where your bone is completely cut, pins are needed to tightly fix the skin tissue and muscles and make them heal faster between the bones. This procedure equally happens with the other facial contouring surgeries too. Three months after the surgery, the bone is fully healed and firmly bonded as before the operation.

A

The pins are made of metals for surgery and treatment. It’s the same material used for teeth implant, causing no harm to human body so the removal is up to your personal choice. It does not matter if you go through an airport search or CT or MRI.

A

T-osteotomy is a method that is used to cut the chin bone in a T-shape, gathering the edges of resected chins pieces back together, which are secured with titanium pins. Square jaw reduction surgery can be done together which gives a natural V-shaped face.
