Do I need double jaw surgery or just V-line surgery?

 


Orthognathic surgery is done when the jaws are misplaced or their functions are not carried out well due to protruded jaw or facial asymmetry. It is correcting the placement of jaws by cutting the upper and lower jaws. Once you get an orthognathic surgery, you can improve your mastication function including chewing food and speaking, and since the location and shape of the jaws are changed to normal, you can see a dramatic facial change.

 


Facial contouring surgery is for changing the shape of your facial bone to make your facial shape prettier, and it includes square jaw surgery, cheekbone reduction surgery, and chin surgery. In case of strong and rough facial appearance due to too much growth of facial bone, the surgery reduces the size of the bone and changes the facial shape into a smoother one, so it is focused more on making aesthetical improvement.

 


Whether you should get orthognathic surgery or facial contouring surgery is decided based on the mastication of your teeth, the shape of the jaw bone, and the condition of the central line of your face. If you have malocclusion, jaw bones are not in the right place, or the central line of your face is tilted, you should get orthognathic surgery that corrects the placement of the upper and lower jaw as well as their shape. However, if the central line of your face is straight, and you’re simply worried about the shape and appearance of your lower jaw bone, getting orthognathic surgery can solve the problem of your facial shape.
