Surgery: Double Jaw + V-line
Concern: Facial Asymmetry
Treating Facial Asymmetry Through Surgery
Skeletal asymmetry can be improved through surgery. Through re-positioning the upper jaw and lower jaw and making reductions to the bones, double jaw surgery can be beneficial. Problems with the inclination of the upper jaw can be improved by making incisions to the bone and reducing it. Incisions to the lower jaw will also be made either through the SSRO method or IVRO method. The lower jaw will be moved and adjusted accordingly with the upper jaw. This will help center the jawbones to a better position.
Finishing With Facial Contouring Surgery
After double jaw surgery, facial contouring surgery such can be beneficial as well. If there is remaining asymmetry in the lower jaw/chin after double jaw surgery, it can be reduced with genioplatsy or V-line surgery. This way, the upper jaw and lower jaw will be more aligned and will prevent the face from looking awkward.
